The candidate of the National Association, who with ten days to go before the signature period ends, only has 366 sponsorships, suspends her campaign to dedicate herself to gathering forces.
The situation is serious. Marine Le Pen has decided to suspend her campaign for the presidential elections “until the sponsorships are obtained”, as announced by her entourage on Tuesday, February 22, while the candidate for the National Group is concerned about not having gathered the 500 signatures of charges elected officials required.
The finalist of the 2017 presidential elections, who came second in the polls behind Emmanuel Macron in the first round, has only obtained 366 sponsorships so far, ten days before the deadline for submitting signatures, set for 4 March, at 6:00 p.m., by the Constitutional Council.
“I call on the mayors: if you don’t help me, millions of voters will be deprived of an election,” Marine Le Pen said in a video posted on her Twitter account on Monday.
As a direct consequence of the suspension of the AN candidate’s campaign, a press conference scheduled for Wednesday in Paris on education “has been postponed”, as has a trip to the Somme region that was to take place on Saturday, his collaborators reported.
The concern is also palpable in the camp of another candidate, Eric Zemmour, who so far has only 291 sponsorships. The far-right candidate had to cancel a trip scheduled for this week to Reunion Island to focus on calling elected officials.
“A democratic tsunami if these candidates could not present themselves”
On the left, the leader of France Insumisa, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who only has 370 signatures despite having between 10 and 11% of voting intentions, received the sponsorship of the mayor of the Republicans party in Cannes on Sunday , David Lisnard, “out of civic concern” and “so that demagogues don’t play the victims.”
For her part, Christiane Taubira, who only has 86 signatures, launched a new appeal, admitting that “her campaign depends on sponsorships.”
The president of the Democratic Movement party, François Bayrou, warned on Monday of “a democratic tsunami if these candidates could not present themselves.” His group Nuestra Democracia, a sponsorship bank to help candidates who have more than 10% of the intention to vote, has brought together some 120 elected representatives.
For the moment, only the deputy of The Republicans Valérie Pécresse; outgoing President Emmanuel Macron, who is not yet a formal candidate; the socialist Anne Hidalgo; the communist Fabien Roussel; Jean Lassalle, from Resistamos and Nathalie Arthaud from Lucha Obrera have obtained the necessary 500 supports, subject to the final validation of their candidacy by the Constitutional Council.
No well-placed candidate in the polls has failed to collect support in a presidential election.
