Despite a crushing defeat, the Republican presidential candidate has bounced back. After a busy day where the president of the Île-de-France region visited a freshly renovated high school in Essonne, before inaugurating a geothermal borehole, she confided in the columns of Parisian. Nine months after a historically low score in the presidential election, she claims to have found the motivation to continue in politics.
"I asked myself a lot of questions. For several weeks, I said to myself, "What is my role in all this?" “, describes Valérie Pécresse on a daily basis. With a score of 4.7% of the vote in the election, the former LR candidate "had the temptation to change her life, her trajectory", she adds. To recover from this underperformance, "I walked, I got back to the piano, I did yoga", which helped her "move the page".
Her "passion for the Île-de-France region" however caught up with her, assures Valérie Pécresse, in particular the "emergencies related to transport, purchasing power, the war in Ukraine". Taken over by "the feeling of usefulness", she absolutely wanted to "return to the oven and the mill".
