Pro-European Union: Front Party and Person Race

pro-european union: But that remarkable accomplishment is so alarming to so many in France that as soon as the preliminary results were announced at 8 01 p.m., virtually all of her major opponents in the 11-person race called for her defeat in the second-round runoff on May 7, according to Toronto Star. They implored their supporters to vote for the candidate projected to come out on top Sunday, the centrist, pro-European Union former economy minister Emmanuel Macron, a political novice and outsider. With her second-place finish Sunday in the first round of the presidential election, Marine Le Pen has dragged her National Front party from the dark fringes of its first 40 years. The first-round showing by Macron and Le Pen represented an earthquake, as they effectively broke the French political establishment. They have been pushed aside in a wave of popular anger over the country's stagnant economy and shaky security. On the right and the left, the two parties that have governed France for more than 50 years suffered a severe defeat. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
