You could say that at the end of the third time, we were almost used to it.And yet it always makes a funny effect.Disgust.Dread.Want to shout in a pillow or rageously writing a tweet, as vain as it may seem.
This year, there was still something a little different, a hope, the tiny ridiculous hope that a useful vote could perhaps take a candidate on the left on the second step of the podium.We feel a little stupid to have believed there, stuck in his media bubble where the calls for useful voting-sometimes out of conviction, collide on social networks-but which had almost let believe that somethingGood, or less worse, could occur.
And then Pschitt, 8 pm, the bubble bursts, and what was pressed appears well on the screen.Emmanuel Macron Premier, far ahead, Marine Le Pen a few points behind.This Monday, April 11, the second round is confirmed with 27.60% votes for the outgoing president and 23.41% for the one who will face him for the second time.
Faced with the national gathering, we no longer play to be afraid
Even if I expected, seeing Marine Le Pen still unambiguously drop out in the second round will never stop making me want to break doors.Better than in 2002, better than in 2017, with the added bonus of a completed dediabolization.
And Emmanuel Macron who announced the child's spout this week that he regretted not having managed to stem the far right.No Shit, Sherlock.
Far this 17% of Le Pen Father who seemed dizzying at the time, we are 20 years later, in the same sauce, but in worse.
So yes, "not a voice for the far right," we heard on all Sunday April 10 in the evening.Necessarily.
In 2022, we no longer play to scare ourselves by imagining this national gathering good complexion in power as it could well be realized, and this despite the "far-right dam" which still works, at all costs, even ifGiven the reactionary hints that emanate from certain ministries - at random interior or education - one wonders a little for what, in the end.
Especially since this time, Marine Le Pen has a ready -made voice in the electorate of Eric Zemmour.And that we can count on her so as not to be built by Emmanuel Macron as during the debate between two laps five years ago.
As 20 years ago, as 5 years ago, we naturally called for the republican dam, perhaps because it is necessary, because the RN in power would be terrible beyond our worst fears, becauseIt is better to stack five years with Emmanuel Macron than to take the risk of spending five years with the friend of Viktor Orban and Vladimir Putin in power.
Not to be fooled against the candidate of the national rally
Marine Le Pen, it is the one who spoke to us not so long ago of abortion of comfort and who understood that this speech is no longer tenable.But let's not be mistaken: it is also the one who today wants to ban public space for women who wear the veil.It is his party which at the local level suffocates LGBTI+associations.
It’s Marine Le Pen who denies the police violence and even evokes the idea of a presumption of self -defense for the police.It is the one who intends to bet on nuclear, dismantle wind turbines and do not properly offer anything in terms of international climate policy.It is the one who no longer wants us to designate her and her party as the extreme right.
At MadmoiZelle, we have not made my own mystery of our positions with its positions and the danger it represents for democracy, the rights of women and minorities.
This led us, for example, to choose not to invite women candidates or representatives of the national rally or reconquest!During our lives on Twitch during the campaign, a choice that we assumed and that we claim.
This also led us to publish this great decryption on the Gay vote of the RN to highlight its strategy towards LGBTI+people, also applicable to the Women's Electorate.
Two weeks of circus for five years of hell
So hang your belts, let's go for two intense weeks, but do not hope that stops on the evening of April 24.
Moreover, unlike five years ago, Emmanuel Macron has no reason to be very serene as this second round approaches.That's good, neither is we ... but for other reasons.
