The French presidential candidates Emanuel Macron and Marin Le Pen attacked each other at the start of their repeat campaigns, after coming first and second respectively in the initial vote. With less than two weeks left until the final round, every politician wasted no time in disproving his opponent. “Emanuel Macron, if accidentally re-elected, would feel completely free to pursue his policy of social wreckage,” Lepen said, before turning to the cost-of-living crisis, her usual political line of attack. For his part, Mr Macron accused the leader of the far-right National Rally party of being a “demagogue”, telling people what they wanted to hear. Responding to the results of the first round, Gerard Aro, a former French diplomat who is now a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council, said his country’s political life was now “more than ever a field of ruins”. “Macron leads a centrist bloc by almost 30%, but his only credible opponents are the extremists,” explained Gerard Aro.

Macron says he would travel to Kyiv if “useful”
Emanuel Macron said he would travel to Kyiv or anywhere else if it was “useful”. “I am ready to go anywhere, even to Kyiv, if it could be useful, if it would help start a dialogue,” he told BFM on Monday. The statement comes shortly after the French president was criticized by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki for talking to Vladimir Putin in an attempt to end the war in Ukraine. “What have you achieved? Did you stop any of these actions? “You are not negotiating with criminals, you are fighting them,” Morawiecki said. Donald Tusk, the former Prime Minister of Poland, who later became President of the European Council, was outraged by the words of his compatriot. Addressing the French leader, he wrote on Twitter: “Mr. President, dear Emmanuel, no decent Pole supports Madame Le Pen, just as no decent Pole supports Orban or Putin. The vast majority of Poles are in favor of Europe, Ukraine and freedom, regardless of what rubbish says Prime Minister Morawiecki. Rory Sullivan April 11, 2022 7:15 p.m. 1649699638

French presidential candidates Emanuel Macron and Marin Le Pen have sharply reprimanded each other at the start of their election campaigns.

French politics is now “a field of ruins,” says the former US ambassador
A former French ambassador to the United States has described the political situation in his country as a “field of ruins” following yesterday’s vote. With the exception of incumbent President Emanuel Macron, no centrist politician has received significant public support. But populist politicians – Marine Le Pen of the far right and Jean-Luc Melanson of the far left – did it. Responding to the results of the first round, Gérard Araud, who is now a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council, said: “French political life is more than ever a field of ruins: Macron leads a centrist bloc of almost 30%, but his only “Reliable opponents are extremists.” “All the polls so far show that Macron has to win but with such a small difference that the result can be reversed in the second round of voting on April 24. “His victory is anything but guaranteed,” he added.

French center-right party struggles to survive
Les Republicains were once a dominant force in French politics. However, party leader Valerie Pecresse won less than 5 percent of the vote in the first round of yesterday’s presidential election. Aside from the worst result in modern history, the failure to reach the 5 percent threshold means that the money the party spent on the campaign will not be partially reimbursed by the state. Some are struggling to figure out how the Les Republicains can recover from this setback. However, party activists maintain their faith in his future. “I do not think our party will collapse. If Le Pen loses, it is over and Macron wins, it will be his last term, so in 2027 there will be a need for something new and we must be ready.” Florence Portelli, a spokeswoman for Ms Pecresse, said: A 67-year-old retired lawyer named Jacques also believes Sunday’s result does not mean the end of the party he supports. “It’s a slap in the face, but people no longer think rationally and want to sell them a dream,” he said. “There is a danger that the party will explode, but we must regroup now.” Rory Sullivan 11 April 2022 17:20 1649692563

Marine Le Pen claims that she would form a “government of national unity” if she won the French presidency in two weeks. The leader of the far-right National Coalition wrote on Twitter this afternoon: “Elected president, I will form a government of national unity, with personalities from other political families who share our vision for national independence or the industrialization of the country.” Ms Lepen has spoken in the past about the desire for a unity government, saying she had a “list of people” she would like to include, “either in politics or in civil society who share the broad lines of my policy”.
