DEBATE BETWEEN-TWO-ROUNDS. The traditional debate between the two finalists in the 2022 presidential election will take place. The date and the channels that will broadcast it are already known.
There will be a debate in this campaign for the 2022 presidential election. But not before the first round. Emmanuel Macron, like his predecessors who aspired to be re-elected, refused to confront his opponents directly by April 10. The president-candidate announced it a long time ago and will not change his mind before the opening of the ballot. On the other hand, as has been customary since 1974 now, a debate between the two finalists will take place a few days before the second round. The first elements on the organization, such as the date and the channels that will broadcast it have been released. It remains to be seen whether this meeting will attract more viewers than in 2017. Five years ago, 16.5 million French people followed the heated exchanges between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen, the lowest audience of the history of these debates. Between 1974 and 1988, between 25 and 30 million viewers gathered to follow the verbal contests of the finalists, compared to 16.8 in 1995, 20 in 2007 and 17.8 in 2012.
On what date will the debate between the two rounds take place?
According to information from Parisianthe duel between the candidate who came first on the evening of April 10 and his runner-up will take place on Wednesday April 20, 2022. A date which has been confirmed with 20 minutes. As in every election since 2007, the confrontation is therefore organized four days before the return to the polls of the French, that is to say during the second and final week of the campaign before the final vote.
On which channel will the debate between the two rounds be broadcast?
While the announced schedule is therefore similar to previous years, so will the broadcasters. Because the two media have also announced that it is TF1 and France 2 which will organize this traditional democratic meeting. Since 1988, the first two channels have been managing this debate between the two rounds. Broadcast on 1 and 2, the discussions have in the past also been broadcast live on other television channels, including BFM TV, CNews, LCI, France Info and even LCP in 2017. , no details have, for the time being, been given by the organizers.
Who will present the debate between the two rounds?
As TF1 and France 2 lead the operations for the debate, the latter is presented by a journalist from each channel, a man and a woman. At this stage, the names of the two presenters are not yet known. In 2017, it was Christophe Jakubyszyn, deputy director of TF1 in charge of the political service, and Nathalie Saint-Cricq, head of the political service of France 2, who organized the exchanges. Since the start of the presidential campaign, political programs have been organized by the two competing channels, presented in particular by Gilles Bouleau on TF1 and Anne-Sophie Lapix on France 2. A duo who could well be at the helm of the debate on April 20.
