French elections: Tonight the crucial debate Macron – Le Pen

by

Today is a critical day in view of the second round of the French elections on Sunday 24 April. Tonight at 10 pm (Greek time) Emanuel Macron and Marin Lepen cross their swords during a debate, which could be decisive for the political developments in France.

Big bet on Lepenwhich is behind Macron in the polls for the second round, is to prove to the French that on the one hand he has the political stature to enter the Elysee Palace, on the other hand that they should not be afraid of the far-right transition to power.

“Fear is the only argument for keeping the current president in power at all costs,” Le Pen said in a new election video Tuesday, accusing Macron of terrorizing citizens over what a far-right presidency would mean for France. .

For Macronprobably the biggest challenge is not to sound arrogant, a criticism that is often heard about the French president by many voters, while “knocking” on the gaps he sees in Le Pen’s political plans and showcasing his five years of experience in power.

“The French now see her as a possible president, unlike in 2017. Now it is up to us to prove that she will be a bad president,” said a source close to Macron, adding that realistic “.

When Macron and Le Pen first met for the presidency in 2017, the debate was devastating for the Eurosceptic candidate.

At the time, Lepen had confused her notes and lost her words, while the debate had allowed even the inexperienced Macron to convince voters that he was capable of becoming president.

A lot has changed since then, Reuters notes.

Macron has been in power for five years now, which will allow Lepen to criticize him for his political choices.
