Prepared

Points

So we had Le Pen versus Macron for the second time. The debate I mean. The last debate was disastrous for Le Pen.
The Guardian wrote: ‘After a disastrous performance in the 2017 presidential debate, Le Pen was far better prepared this time. She had been advised to play the mother of the nation – advice she failed to take in 2017. Back then, her team suggested she attempt to destabilise Macron, treat him as a “spoilt child”. In the event, Macron destabilised her from the start, telling her that despite her efforts to detoxify her and her party’s image she was the “true heiress” of Le Pen Sr and the “French far right”. She stumbled, confused the euro with the ecu, and became aggressive. He told her to “stop being ridiculous”. More than 16 million people were watching. At one point, Le Monde claimed she was losing 30,000 votes a minute and polls afterwards showed she had lost four percentage points.’

Le Monde noted:

‘« Dans mon référendum sur l’immigration, il y a une révision constitutionnelle. Je passerai par l’article 11 de la Constitution », prévient Marine Le Pen. « Le souverain, c’est le peuple, ce n’est pas la Constitution », selon la candidate d’extrême droite.
« Vous proposez donc une formule qui éradique le rôle de l’Assemblée nationale », estime Emmanuel Macron.’

Here.

Well, the moment a political candidate says that the people are the true sovereign, rest assured that this candidate is longing for dictatorship, one way or another.
