Finally, referring to the internal issues and especially to the upcoming presidential elections in France, the minister, after predicting Macron’s predominance, said that a significant part of the French left, and especially the Social Democrats, support him. He also said that Macron is not a leftist but is a politician who reconciles various political nuances.
