Emmanuel Macron is a former French Minister of Economy and one of the candidates of the post of the President of France. He thinks that France should be moving forward to tighter relations with the Russian Federation.
During the pre-election debates broadcast by TF1, Emmanuel Macron showed that he wouldn’t make friends with Moscow if he elected President of France. He thinks that France needs independence and tighter cooperation with fellow EU countries. He wants to make France stronger and more independent based on responsibility and real European policies.
By the way, he won the first round of the pre-election debates. Market leader also reports that according to the results of the recent survey held by BFM and Elabe, Emmanuel Macron entered the TOP5 candidates participating in the pre-election debates, with 29% of the respondents saying that his speech was fairly confident and convincing.
At the same time, 30% of the respondents assume that he offered the best project for the development of France during the debates. At this time, international and local observers say that the forthcoming presidential election in France may become the most unusual election in the history of the 5th Republic. Some of them think that the situation resembles the one in 1958. Back then, because of a political crisis, the 4th Republic collapsed.
The forthcoming presidential election in France are scheduled for April 23, 2017. Most of the observers assume that no candidate will get over 50% of votes, which is required to win in the first round. If that’s really the case, the next round of the presidential election in France will take place on May 7, 2017. Only the 2 candidates with the biggest amount of votes in the first round will pass to the second round. According to multiple surveys, Marine Le Pen is the frontrunner. As for Emmanuel Macron, he shares the second place with Francois Fillon.
