In Toulouse, at the Walkers, joy and relaxation
Gathered at the J’Go bar in Toulouse, as in 2017, the Walkers expressed their joy and also admitted their slowdown. Objective of the second round campaign: re-demonize Marine Le Pen.
The large twenty activists of En Marche gathered this Sunday evening at J’Go, Victor-Hugo’s bar in Toulouse, shouted loudly when Emmanuel Macron’s four-point lead over Marine Le Pen appeared on the big screen. Joy but also relaxation: Marie-Rose, 75, activist in the field, does not hide it. “What happiness! I was scared ! “, she lets go before confiding “what bothers her: certain media have set up Zemmour to de-demonize Le Pen”. For Christie, 65, “with the war in Europe, France needs stability”.
Outgoing MP and candidate for her succession, Monique Iborra, present at J’Go, as in 2017, also admits to being relieved. “Lately, we were worried. But for her, this concern remobilized the troops. “We were expected perhaps lower. This result is positive, ”says Alice Dausse, the departmental referent of En Marche.
“Putin’s vassal”
For all, it is now a question of re-demonizing Marine Le Pen. The candidate “vassal of Putin”, “the representative of the far right”, attacks Pierre, 24 years old. “Can we imagine Marine Le Pen defending our European interests against Putin? “, insists Monique Iborra. MP for the 3rd constituency, Corinne Vignon is counting on “the second round debate” so that at “the hour of figures and balance sheet”, Emmanuel Macron, as in 2017, faced with the difference.
Despite her 75 years, Marie-Rose, who had gone to Paris for the meeting, is ready to resume the path of the “PAP”, door-to-door. “The big campaign is about to begin. Much more incisive on the far right”, promises Thomas Lamy, elected in Colomiers, responsible for mobilization at LREM, who, from this Sunday evening, had an appointment with his counterparts on Zoom to plan the next fortnight.
