last week of campaign for Macron and Le Pen

Home stretch. Monday April 18, the two candidates still in the race for the Élysée Palace begin their final week of presidential campaign, the culmination of which will be the debate between Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron, scheduled for Wednesday April 20. For the past few days, everyone has been trying to attract left-wing voters to him. There are thus some reversals on both sides.

For Marine Le Pen, this means changing her position on the ban on wearing the veil. She now speaks of a tolerance for older women. Saturday, in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), Emmanuel Macron, meanwhile, tried to green his image. The candidates should now limit their trips until Wednesday evening, to focus on the decisive debate between the two rounds.
