While he announced this Saturday, February 24 at the Agricultural Show that he had chosen the candidate who will lead the majority list in the next European elections, Emmanuel Macron would have decided to appoint Valérie Hayer,  current leader of the centrist Renew Europe group in the European Parliament.

Emmanuel Macron has made his choice for the European elections and should designate MEP Valérie Hayer as head of the presidential camp list in the coming days, writes La Tribune Dimanche in an article published this Saturday, February 24, without citing a source.

At 37, MEP Renaissance became president of the Renew group in the European Parliament in January, replacing Stéphane Séjourné, who was appointed Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs.

Campaign launch on March 9

According to La Tribune Dimanche, Emmanuel Macron informed last Tuesday of his choice the president of the MoDem, François Bayrou, and should formally announce it to Édouard Philippe, head of the Horizons party, next week.

Little known to the general public, Valérie Hayer is the daughter of farmers from Saint-Denis-d'Anjou (Mayenne), a fact which, according to La Tribune, would have played a role in her favor while agricultural anger fuels anti-European discourse.

The presidential camp, which has chosen the slogan “Need for Europe”, will launch its campaign on March 9 in Lille (North) with a view to European elections which will take place on June 9.
