It is 6:30 p.m. this Sunday when Emmanuel Macron arrives at the Elysée, explains Le Figaro in an article entitled “From candidate to president, the secrets of ‘Macron 2′”. The phones are ringing in all directions, mainly to worry about the good results of Marine Le Pen in the overseas departments, as La Libre and LN24 revealed first.
In this agitation, a call holds the attention, that of the town hall of Paris.

“This is what is called 1.75% nuisance power”, exasperated the president’s entourage, with reference to the score of Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, during the first round of the presidential election.
According to Le Figaro, at that time, Emmanuel Macron was “already tense”. But he then enters “in a cold rage”. Finally, the case is settled half an hour later, and the Elysian team wins the case.
