Summary: For months, Europe complacently assumed that Emmanuel Macron would win France’s April 2022 presidential election, with Marine Le Pen, leader of the right-wing populist Rassemblement National, making it to the second round on April 24th but without threatening Macron. The result of the first round of voting on April 10th, however, showed that the race between the two had tightened considerably – to the point where Le Pen had a realistic chance of winning. Were she to do so, the impact on the EU, NATO and European security would be profoundly destabilising. |
