President Macron has slammed his rival, Marine Le Pen, for being a puppet of Russia in a face-to-face debate in the media as part of France’s presidential campaign.
President Emanuel Macron has slammed the election of Marine Le Pen as President of France as a guarantee of civil war.
According to opinion polls, President Emanuel Macron has 59% support and his opponent Marine Le Pen 39%.
Political observers have also noted that President Macron’s hand has been raised in the campaign so far. Thus, it is certain that Emanuel Macron will be the second President of France.
Also, polls show that 44-year-old Emanuel Macron is more assertive than 53-year-old Marine Le Pen.
President Macron has accused Marine Le Pen of being in Russia’s clutches and using Marine Le Pen as Russia’s candidate for the French election.
In addition, Macron revealed that in 2014, Marine Le Pen’s party received a loan of about 8 8 million from a Russian bank and had not yet repaid the loan.
However, Le Pen replied that none of the French banks had come forward to help them and that they had borrowed from a Russian bank.
Moreover, while Le Pen has stated that he intends to ban Islamic women from wearing headscarves in public, Macron has responded that such a decision could lead to civil war on French soil.
Despite Macron’s hand in the polls so far, the election results are expected to be closer than they were five years ago.
