FRANCE: Marine Le Pen Predicts “Explosion Of Social Violence” If She Loses, Macron Leads By 24 Points

Reuters reports:

“My goal is to win this presidential election,” she said on RTL radio. “I think that we can win.” Le Pen was criticised by some pundits for her aggressive approach to Wednesday’s presidential debate, seeing this as a setback to her attempts to rid the party of the fringe, extremist image it acquired under the nearly 40-year leadership of her father, Jean-Marie.

Defending her forceful stance, Le Pen told RTL: “My words are only the echo of the social violence that is going to explode in this country. People talk about my aggressiveness, but the terrible aggressiveness is that of Mr. Macron’s plan … which is a plan for social deconstruction and deregulation.”

Meanwhile there’s been another post-debate poll:

Centrist French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron extended his lead in the polls over his far-right rival Marine Le Pen on Friday, the final day of a tumultuous election campaign that has turned the country’s politics upside down. The election is seen as the most important in France for decades with two diametrically opposed views of Europe and France’s place in the world at stake.

Four new polls showed Macron on track to win 62 percent of the votes in the second round compared to 38 percent for Le Pen, his best score in a voting survey by a major polling organisation since nine other candidates were eliminated in the first round on April 23.
