French far-right presidential candidates fight for limelight
PARIS (AP) — France’s dueling far-right presidential candidates have held back-to-back campaign rallies. Marine Le Pen and Eric Zemmour tried to steal each other’s thunder on Saturday and keep their anti-immigration agenda front and center in the race for France’s presidential election in April. Both are hoping to unseat President Emmanuel Macron in the two-round election April 10 and April 24. Macron has a campaign team in place but has yet to officially declare his candidacy. A centrist, Macron has shifted to the right amid growing support for conservative and far-right policies, notably on security and immigration.
