faire valoir son entourage

[Sambuddha]

Can you please explain the nuance of faire valoir here?

"Comme tous ses predecesseurs, le president est confronte au meme ecueil: eviter d'en faire trop. 'Un moment de soutien de prevu, les Francais sont demandeurs', fait valoir son entourage.

Please excuse the lack of accents. Thanks!
