Hello everyone, welcome to this live dedicated to Emmanuel Macron’s speech on Europe, scheduled for this Thursday, April 25 at the Sorbonne at 11 a.m.
It is already in these places that the Head of State carried out a similar exercise, in 2017. This time, his speech comes six weeks before the European elections, at a time when his camp finds itself largely behind by the RN in the polls.
The majority candidate, Valérie Hayer, is given 16%, while Jordan Bardella (RN) collects 31% of voting intentions, according to a Toluna Harris Interactive study for Challenges, M6 and RTL published on Wednesday.
Despite the evidence, the Élysée swears that this is not a “campaign speech”. On the contrary, it is “a speech by a head of state before a large assembly, which is not a militant assembly, which commits the word of France”, we are told.
