Le Pen, of the far-right National Assembly, is running for the third time. Throughout the campaign, she was second only to Macron. However, the gap between the two has narrowed over the past few days.

In 2017, when Macron and Le Pen faced each other in the second round, he received 66% of the vote, which is 34%.

Expectations are that the two voices should be more similar. Her campaign this year was largely an attempt to appear less radical in order to please a broader voter base.

Despite this, she still insists on topics such as the political campaign against the manifestations of Islam and the decline in immigration into the country.

Macron says his opponent fights over what people fear. “When I look at the views of the far right, whoever the candidate is, there are a lot of links to conspiracy theories, and it was all said during the two years of the Covid-19 pandemic and vice versa,” he said.

He claims that the far-right’s proposals are financially meaningless and demagogic.

In the final days of the campaign, he gave interviews in an effort to promote his policies and cited what he had done in his first term (particularly his efforts during the Ukraine War, which he was said to have removed from the campaign).

The two candidates who go to the second round will face each other in a debate before voting.

If Macron loses the election, the new president is expected to take office by May 13.

In June, elections for the National Assembly, the French legislature, took place. There are also two voting rounds, scheduled for June 12 and 19.

In his first term, Macron cut taxes on businesses and the wealthy, made it easier to hire and fire employees, and used the budget to keep the country running during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Centristly, he is a supporter of a strong European Union, and he has tried to lead diplomatic efforts to prevent war in Ukraine.

Macron is the youngest leader in the world France Since Napoleon. His victory in 2017 was considered a surprise.

During his presidency there were waves of protests. Protesters expressed the view that Macron is detached from the general population and its needs.

Marine Le Pen He is the leader of the most traditional far-right party in Francethe National Assembly.

She will run for president for the third time. In 2012, it ranked third. In 2017, in second place, behind Macron.

Le Pen has worked in recent years to improve the image of her party, which was seen as racist and xenophobic.

Traditionally, she has made statements against the European Union. Lately, however, she has avoided criticizing the block – she only said it would change a currency France.

Le Pen is trying to attract more voters, but at the same time she has lost supporters to a new competitor, Eric Zemmour (see below).

In 2014, she received a loan from a Russian bank to finance the 2017 campaign, which could be a problem this year.
