The candidate of the extreme right in the French presidential election Marine Le Pen rejected yesterday, Thursday, the criticisms of her opponent Emanuel Macron, who accuses her of that maintains “authoritarian” and extremist views despite displaying a softer public image in the current election campaign.
«These criticisms make me smile because we have never had a president who showed more signs of extremism than Emanuel Macron“, Said Le Pen speaking on the television network France 2 and citing police action against political demonstrationssuch as the mobilization of yellow vests.
In her interview, Lepen reiterated that, if elected, considers it possible to hold a referendum on reinstatement of the death penalty. She had previously stated that she would personally vote against her reinstatement.
In another development, the French election regulator announced that asked for clarifications from Lepen’s election campaign on statements she had wrongly made to public authorities about crime and immigration, one of her central issues.
However, the regulator clarified that Lepen does not need to change its already printed brochures.
The presidential candidate characterized political “maneuver” this move by the campaign control committee of the CNCCEP.
The CNCCEP had announced that it was examining Le Pen’s allegations about one statistical peak of intentional bodily injury episodes after 2017 and the number of immigrants who entered France legally from that year, which the candidate had incorrectly submitted to the French Ministry of the Interior.
«The Commission asked the candidate to present a new version of her statement without commenting“CNCCEP said in a statement, but added that will not ask Le Pen’s campaign to withdraw already printed materialbecause such a thing would be “disproportionate”.
