what mccall said recently that he will not change is try to gee it will go on you will see i mean in three years and a half there will be presidential elections if people feel that referendums have really been made and that the country is. ready for new start with him they will they will they will not vote him out their well meant keep him but if of course you have like several changes. they will they will say ok this guy is not not enough for iti and we will we will not keep him but you have also to consider that. in the last four or five months made several big communication mistakes in various pictures. and i can see like demagogic. selfies with. even with a guy was. getting out from jail and so on so this has also. been destroyed is president to image but i think it's not over i mean i think that. can get back some popularity you know. polls do not mean anything you have to wait for elections and could ritually to what extent there is all of this playing into the hands of the far right in france one of the dangers here particularly when it comes to next year's european elections.
