The French Presidential Debate

Le Pen and Macron Clash in Vicious Presidential Debate in France

The above link contains translated clips of the debate.

Some Excerpts:

“You are for laxism,” Ms. Le Pen said.

“You are complaisant toward Islamist fundamentalism,” she said. “We’ve got to eradicate fundamentalist ideologies. You won’t do it, because they support you.”

“French laws will be superior to laws given out by some commissioner whose name we don’t even know.”

......

Mr. Macron posited a diametrically opposed view, insisting that France’s place was in a stronger Europe that could stand up to Mr. Putin’s Russia and President Trump’s United States. Ms. Le Pen’s idea is that “we’re going to leave Europe because the others can make it, but we can’t,” he said. “In the face of this spirit of defeat, I am for the spirit of conquest, because France has always succeeded.”
