Europeans: the Attal-Bardell debate will take place on May 23 on France 2

Finally, the date for the long-awaited fight. According to our information, the debate between Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and RN President Jordan Bardella will take place on Thursday 23 May on France 2. The debate, requested for several months by the RN leader, will take place at 20:15 after the television news.

It will be hosted by journalist Caroline Roux as part of the L’éveil program. This decision was made on Monday, May 6, during an exchange of views between the Matignon and RN teams. The show is expected to last just over an hour, but the themes and sequence have not yet been determined.

Initially, the head of government was not inclined to discuss

“We already had a debate on LCI the day before and a broadcast at 20:00 on TF 1 in the same week,” explains Jordan Bardella’s team to explain why the public channel was chosen over channel number 1.

Initially, the head of government was not in the mood to discuss with the leader of the polls. But the President of the Republic encouraged him in many ways to take part in the European campaign. “I want him to participate as much as possible in the campaign, holding debates, meetings, going out onto the field. This is what I asked him, as did the rest of the government,” Emmanuel Macron told the Tribune on Sunday.
