French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to strengthen France’s sovereignty today if he wins a second term in office next month.
Emanuel Macron’s lead over his opponents in the run-up to the presidential election has grown in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Polls predict he will prevail in the first round and beat any of his opponents in the second round.
“We are at a turning point where we can make a real difference,” he told a news conference, noting the war on the European Union’s doorstep and the global challenge of climate change.
Making France a more independent country will be a top priority, Macron said, as he began to describe his platform, promising to do everything he can to protect the country if he remains president.
Polls that have come to light in recent weeks show that the French president will win by up to 30.5% in the first round on April 10, from about 25% last month.
The election campaign was unusual, as it was initially dominated by the rise of a new far-right candidate, Eric Zemour, and is now largely overshadowed by the war in Ukraine, which appears to be strengthening Macron’s power in opinion polls.
As the French president launches his campaign, it may be based on an economic boom that French voters have not seen in a long time to boost his candidacy, a point he made at the start of his press conference. .
“I have promised lower unemployment, despite the crises we have succeeded,” he said.
