Francois Fillon: Pen and Franc Currency

francois fillon: Perhaps more surprisingly, there was little sign it would seriously damage Le Pen, according to Hamilton Spectator. Polls consider her centrist rival Emmanuel Macron the front-runner in the vote, seen as a test of global populism and a decisive moment for the European Union. The stolen words and casual reaction by Le Pen and her team marked the latest shocking development in a French presidential campaign like no other. Le Pen borrowed from a speech delivered last month by Francois Fillon, the former Republicans party candidate, about France's important role in Europe and the world. She promises to restore French glory, pull France out of the EU and return to the franc currency. The subject is at the heart of Le Pen's campaign. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
