Macron’s job is on the line and these contenders might grab it
By Ania Nussbaum / Bloomberg
In exactly 12 months time, the French are to start the process of deciding whether they want to keep Emmanuel Macron as president or dismiss him.
The 43-year-old former investment banker-turned-president has been bruised by his government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, rallies against police violence and strikes against his pension reform, as well protests by the “yellow vests” movement that demands greater economic equality. There is also a perception that he is arrogant and aloof.
Even so, Macron’s approval rating is about 40 percent in surveys. He can count on a strong base of loyal voters, and with the left and right-wing parties in disarray and bickering over who will represent them in April next year, he is almost certain to make it to the second round of the election probably finding himself again facing off against far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen
