France Bleu Occitanie revealed to you this Wednesday thatAnne Hidalgo would conclude his campaign well with a last provincial meeting in Toulouse, on April 2, in the socialist tradition invalidated by François Mitterrand. The other staffs are also working to pin the fourth city of France on the map of their campaign, all of them should eventually comply. Even if the road is still long before April 10 and if the health context forces some to review their plans.

Valérie Pécresse just after the February holidays

For the moment, only one major national meeting is officially set for Valérie Pécresse, that of Paris on February 13. But the Republican candidate, who was in the Lot last week, should organize a public meeting in Toulouse the week of March 7, when returning from the school holidays, perhaps on March 9, to be confirmed. Its staff seeks to reserve the largest room possible, according to health constraints. In 2017, François Fillon had reserved the Zénith, when Nicolas Sarkozy had taken the Parc des Expos in 2012.

Valérie Pécresse also granted her trips to the region, Brigitte Barèges the mayor of Montauban said on the antenna of France Bleu Occitanie that the president of the Ile-de-France region would soon come to Tarn-et-Garonne. In the Tarn, the rising star of the right, Guilhem Carayon hopes to see on his land the Ile-de-France, he who will be a candidate for the legislative elections in the former square of his father.

Eric Zemmour in Toulouse in March, Marine le Pen in the countryside

Eric Zemmour, who has never been seen in the Toulouse region with his cap as a candidate for the Elysée Palace, was to come at the start in February. But the health context has changed its agenda. The headliner of the Reconquête! movement, which has not yet gained significant support in the former Midi-Pyrénées, should reserve a three-day stay, a “promenade” between Gers, Tarn-et-Garonne and Toulouse, with perhaps also the Tarn. It would be mid-March.

Marine le Pen has said it, she is aiming for a local campaign without a big meeting, if not the meeting in Reims scheduled for February 5, when the RN will launch its “5,000 markets” operation to beat the pavement as close as possible to the voters. The boss of the National Rally was also to come to the Toulouse region in early February before being forced to postpone it. Marine le Pen will opt for a municipality in the Toulouse urban area, on the fringes of the big citywhat the party calls “the France of the forgotten“His local teams hope for it in February, if not in March.

Fabien Roussel at the Halle aux Grains on March 27

The only one to have reserved a room in Toulouse is Fabien Roussel. The communist candidate chose the Halle aux Grains. A magnificent setting already occupied by François Bayrou in 2012, Ségolène Royal in September 2011 for the socialist primary, or even in 2019 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon on the occasion of the European elections. The Communists lead alone this time and are in the process of deposing 130,000 letters in mailboxes of Haute-Garonne.

The leader of France Insoumise has good memories of Toulouse and his meeting at the Prairie des Filtres in 2017. It’s still early to announce his return to the banks of the Garonne, Jean-Luc Mélenchon first booked the Sud de France Arena in Montpellier on February 13 for its first major meeting in Occitania. In the meantime, his lieutenants are campaigning for him in the territories, like the deputy Eric Coquerel in a public meeting this Friday, January 28 in Cahors.

Montpellier is also a next Occitan stage that Yannick Jadot has chosen with a passage stalled on February 10 at Place de la Comédie. The EELV candidate will be before that this Saturday, January 29 for a national meeting in Lyon where he will present his justice and climate program. Son meeting will be broadcast live at the Salle Sénéchal in Toulouse. Present at the Zénith in 2017 alongside Benoit Hamon, the one who counts as support and member of his national political committee the former mayor of Toulouse, Pierre Cohen, is undoubtedly organizing a big rout in the city which almost went green in the last municipal.

Christiane Taubira’s entourage does not give any details as to a future location in the country’s fourth metropolis, a “hypothesis among others”. The former minister was traveling in Ariège at the beginning of January. A public meeting was is announced in Bordeaux this Thursday January 27.

Emmanuel Macron preferred Albi to Toulouse in 2017

As for Emmanuel Macron, who is still not a candidate, the time is obviously not for room reservations in the regions. We remember that in 2017, all the big candidates had gone through Toulouse except him. The future president had preferred a meeting in Albi, for his latest campaign. It was Christophe Castaner who was responsible for hosting a public meeting before the first round at the Pierre-Baudis convention center, a week after Emmanuel Macron’s express visit to the pink city without contact with the public.
