PARIS (Reuters) – Emmanuel Macron ruled on Friday that the second round of the French presidential election which will pit him against Marine Le Pen on Sunday would constitute a real “referendum” on France as well as its place in Europe and in the world. .
“April 24 will be a referendum for or against Europe, we want Europe, April 24 will be a referendum for or against a secular, united, indivisible Republic, this bloc, we are for”, launched the president at the end of a speech during his last campaign meeting in Figeac (Lot).
“April 24 will be for a strong economic France (…) or one that is heading towards bankruptcy and demagoguery (…) for or against loyalty to our values, our history, what we are,” he said. -he adds.
