Madame Le Pepe |
YouTube vlogger State of the Nation gives his usual, highly informed analysis of the French Presidential election, where, it seems, almost all the main candidates are embroiled in some sort of scandal.
Conservative candidate Francois Fillon is still braving his "fake job" expenses scandal, but now his party is finally rallying behind him, after many defections. Insurgent centrist and globalist "metrosexual" Emmanuel Macron, bolstered by support from fellow centrist Francois Bayrou, is rising in the polls and is now the favourite to win the first round.
Meanwhile, Alt-Right favourite Marine Le Pen is being attacked by the establishment, with police raiding her office and the EU removing her parliamentary immunity over tweets.

Still too close to call.
