French presidential election: 'Macron's biggest risk now is complacency' • FRANCE 24 English

FRANCE24, 21 Apr 2022
As French voters head back to the polls Sunday for France's runoff election, FRANCE 24 is joined by Joël Reland, Researcher at UK in a Changing Europe. Maintaining a comfortable 10-point lead in the polls, Mr. Reland asserts that Macron is heavily favoured to win a second presidential term. "It looks like he is going to win. [During] the debate, Le Pen failed to land any real blows on him. So there might be a feeling that Macron has it in the bag," which might actually dissuade French voters who don't particularly like Macron from voting at all.
