NormanH Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 An unofficial one last night on TF1 surrounded by some controversy since it included only the 5 main candidates out of the 11.If you find it hard to follow in French there was live coverage in the Guardian which takes these things seriouslyhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2017/mar/20/french-presidential-candidates-debate-key-election-issues-liveand a reasonable summary this morninghttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/21/french-presidential-debate-le-pen-comes-under-fire-from-rivalsby Angélique Christafis who usually has her finger on the pulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I recieved a renewed carte electorale in the post today, it clearly states that I can only vote in élections municipale and for the EU parliament, the former we are not due for a few years, is there an EU election forthcoming or have the Mairie made a mistake? I hope they have because I could then have some fun [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I didn't watch the debate as I am waiting for the number of candidates to be whittled down first. Besides, I didn't much fancy watching the dodgy Fillon setting out anything, nevermind his programme, though I suppose that he COULD get to the second round[:'(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grecian Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Great line from Macron replying to Le Pen when she brought up 'Project Fear'... “All those who said Brexit will be wonderful … ran away and hid”.Oh so very true Monsieur Macron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Well, Macron seems to have adopted the Hollande strategy of a 'little bit of this and a little bit of that but please don't rock the boat because this is really the best of all possible worlds which just needs tidying up a little.'His real vision is difficult to see through the ducking and diving, which is sad for the French really wanted that, I think.
