Bertrand emerge como rival para as presidenciais em França

June 29, 2021 - O antigo corretor de seguros, Xavier Bertrand, emergiu como principal
concorrente às eleições presidenciais francesas de abril de 2022 entre o Presidente Emmanuel Macron e a líder de extrema direita Marine Le Pen.

Bertrand’s centre-right bloc out-performed rivals in France’s regional votes at the weekend, turning the 2022 election into a turning the 2022 election into a three-way contest, according to Reuters.

The parties of Macron and Le Pen both suffered major setbacks, with the ruling Republic on the Move (LREM) decimated in both rounds of voting and the far-right National Rally (RN) failing in its aim to win a region for the first time, AFP said.

An IPSOS/Sopra Steria poll late on Sunday showed Bertrand’s popularity climbing nationwide. It projected he would win 18% of the first round presidential vote, up several points on previous polls and narrowing the gap on Macron and Le Pen, Reuters said.
