France prepares for first round of presidential elections

The fiercest battle in the first round is planned between the current president Emmanuel Macron and the far-right politician Marina Lepen, who are expected to enter the second round. If both politicians are indeed in the second round, then this time, according to experts, the duel between Makron and Lepena will be much fiercer than in the previous elections five years ago.

Although the current owner of the Elysee Palace, Emanuel Macron, is still expected to win, analysts warn that the outcome is uncertain, with uncertainty about voter turnout.

Some observers fear that a quarter of voters could stay home. Thus, the record of 2002, when the first round of elections was boycotted by more than 28%, could be broken.

However, if Macron succeeds, he would be the first French president since Jacques Chirac in 2002 to remain in office for a second term.
