Alegerile din Franța: Centriştii se confruntă cu o dilemă electorală. „Mult mai grav decât orice diferențe ar exista între noi”

The French political center is divided over selecting a common candidate to challenge Marine Le Pen in the upcoming presidential elections. Gabriel Attal advocates for primary elections among various parties, emphasizing the need for unity against the far-right. In contrast, Edouard Philippe warns that a joint approach could confuse voters due to differing visions among potential candidates. Current polls show Le Pen leading with 32-38%, followed by Jean-Luc Mélenchon at 15-20%. Candidates from the center and center-right have seen a decline in support, with Philippe and Raphael Glucksmann scoring around 16%. The elections will occur in two rounds in April and May next year.
