The head of state expressed concern in an interview on Europe 1 released on Tuesday about the rise of nationalism in Europe, saying he hoped that Marine Le Pen's party "will not win" and that "other political forces that are in the Republican political field will prevail ".
Marine Le Pen mocked Tuesday a president "in panic" before the European elections.
Questioned in the National Assembly, the president of the National Assembly (RN, former FN) said that the two subjects "showed the evidence of a real panic of power in the face of an electoral sequence which he knows will most likely be for him an electoral beating " .
The RN and the LREM presidential party are neck and neck voting intentions for the poll, according to an Ifop poll released Sunday.
The government spot on the EU also pointed out by Le Pen
Emmanuel Macron's remarks are not "very new in French politics ... I feel like I've heard that all my life: Europe is peace. Nations is war, the national gathering is out of the republican field. It's an absolute nerdy, " said the far-right leader.
The government spot uses "the means of the state" for a "clip with an electoral vocation , " also denounced the finalist of the presidential election in 2017, judging the opposite process "the rules of campaign financing".
A clip of the government calling on citizens to vote in Europe showing Italian Matteo Salvini and Hungarian Viktor Orban as foils, had previously sparked controversy in France.
