French election: Is it Emmanuel Macron’s to lose?

„The problem is, yet again, like in 2002, the French electorate is being morally blackmailed, not so much to vote for a Macron they may really be fond of but against Le Pen,“ he said.

„There’s a risk there that undermines the electoral process in terms of the final outcome.“

Macron has been endorsed by current President Francois Hollande, Republican candidate Francois Fillon and the Socialist Party’s Benoit Hamon, but he is not universally liked.

Often seen as the „elite“, he’s viewed as being part of the establishment and out of touch with the public.
