French Republican presidential candidate pecres has become a strong competitor to President macron in next year's general election. Recently, polls show that her support rate is rising, and she even beat macron in the second round.
According to Reuters reported on December 11, female politician Petras called herself "one-third of Thatcher and two-thirds of Merkel". She unexpectedly won the French Republican primary last weekend and has been strong in the polls since then.
At the first election rally on the 11th, pecres said she hoped that the EU would maintain the independence of all nation states rather than become a "federal superpower" like the United States.
"I heard that some of our German partners suggested that the EU should evolve into a federal state. I would politely and firmly say 'no'." Pecres said. Earlier, when reaching the ruling alliance agreement of the new government, the new German Chancellor Scholtz said that the EU should be committed to moving towards a "federal Europe".
French conservatives have always supported European integration in the economic field, such as the establishment of the euro market or the single market, but they refuse to transfer the decision-making power on sensitive sovereign issues such as foreign policy and national defense to the European level.
Pecres also said that she did not want France to become a "vassal state" of the United States, nor did she want to see another country withdraw from the EU like Britain. She also pointed out that although Scholtz came from a left-wing party, she would still maintain cooperation with Germany, a key ally.
Two polls released this week showed a sharp increase in pecre's support. According to the latest data of elabe, a polling organization on the 7th, pecre's support rate in the first round of voting has reached 20%, followed by macron, and even beat macron by 52% to 48% in the second round. Compared with the last poll on November 23, pecles's approval rating increased by 11 percentage points.
According to the data provided by Ifop fiducial, another polling agency, this week, pecres's support rate is still much lower than macron's 25%, but it is the same as Le Pen's 17%. Zemour, another right-wing candidate, has a 13% approval rating. None of the left-wing candidates has exceeded 10%.
A few years ago, most polls predicted that the 2022 general election would usher in another round of final duel between macron and Le Pen. But the French media pointed out that the emergence of zemur and pecres made the election results difficult to predict.
