FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 161: THE SWIRL OF PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS "THE HEALTH PASS FALSE FREEDOM TRUE SUBMISSION"

 

           YELLOW VESTS ARRIVE TO PROTEST IN PARIS                                   SATURDAY DECEMBER 11, 2021

A new flavor in the French presidential race.

Valerie Pecresse emerging from a "primary of the Right" in France to be the candidate of Les Republicains one of France's "mainstream" parties.

Pecresse is the President of the Ile de France region in and around Paris.

Her victory last weekend led to instant polling that gave her second place in the first round behind incumbent Emmauel Macron.

And the polling for the second round showing Pecresse a winner over Macron by a narrow margin.

Macron himself went before the media on Thursday for a press conference in the aftermath of the polls.

Meanwhile Marine Le Pen's people say she is now ready to debate Eric Zemmour after the outspoken Jewish pundit finally entered the presidential contest.

Zemmour has fashioned himself as a defender of French culture and tradition in the face of increasing Islamic influence in the country fueled by immigration.   He has taken some of Marine Le Pen's support away from her.
