Presidential 2022: Valérie Pécresse reduces the sails for her meeting in Toulouse

Struggling in the polls, the candidate (LR) in the presidential election Valerie Pécresse will be traveling to Haute-Garonne on Friday March 18 and Saturday March 19, 2022, to try to restart the machine of a campaign that is slipping.
Leaving the Meett, she falls back on Pierre-Baudis
At 8 p.m. on Friday, the president of the Ile-de-France Region has planned a large regional meeting In Toulouse. The event was initially planned at Meett, the new Parc des expositions de la Métropole, located in the town of Aussonne (Haute-Garonne), but it will finally be held… at Pierre-Baudis congress center.
The Meet? A “very large and cold” room
Of the 3,000 to 4,000 people reflected at Meett, his staff is now aiming for 1,700, says Pierre Esplugas-Labatut. Why reduce the sail in this way? The co-president of Valérie Pécresse’s support committee in Haute-Garonne does not hide it: “We prefer to have a full room at Pierre-Baudis, rather than taking a risk in a very large and cold room at Meett” .
“The Pierre-Baudis congress center is more central, and the room warmer, while the Meett, the people of Toulouse must already take ownership of it”.
“Erase the bad impression of the Zenith”
This Pécressiste of the first hour hopes that this highlight of the campaign will allow the candidate of the Republicans “to erase the bad impression left, rightly or wrongly, by her meeting at the Zénith” in Paris, and that she will “finally know how to campaign in the more direct style and friendlier which is his”.
A speech by Jean-Luc Moudenc
Having already come twice to Toulouse, the largest city in France in the hands of the Republicans, during the campaign for the investiture of her party, Valérie Pécresse will be able to count on the support of Jean-Luc Moudenc, who is one of nine local elected officials to have given him his sponsorship in the department. In addition to that of the candidate, a speech by Jean-Luc Moudenc is also on the program.
Buses from neighboring departments
Valérie Pécresse will be at Nimes (Gard) the day before and Rivesaltes (Pyrenees-Orientales) the very morning of its meeting, which must take a regional character, since “cars will come from neighboring departments”. The next day, Saturday, the right-wing candidate must participate in the UT1 Capitole at a debate with students.
Unlike Éric Zemmour, Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Valérie Pécresse is one of the presidential candidates invited to participate in the commemorations for the 10th anniversary of the Islamist attacks in Toulouse and Montauban, on Sunday March 20 at the Halle aux Grains, in the presence of the Head of State Emmanuel Macron and the President of Israel, Isaac Herzog.
Public meeting with Valérie Pécresse in video, this Tuesday
On the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, Tuesday March 8, 2022, the “Women’s Committee with Valérie in the 31” organized a public meeting in the Sénéchal room in Toulouse, at 7 p.m. As in all departments in France, Valérie Pécresse presented her project for women’s rights by videoconference. At 7:15 p.m., this same committee organized a public meeting in the Castelbou room, Arnaud-Bernard district, on violence against women.
