Macron v Le Pen: a very different rematch

Emmanuel Macron will face Marine Le Pen in the second round run-off of the French Presidential election

Emmanuel Macron will face Marine Le Pen in the second round run-off of the French Presidential election.

It’s all a bit deja-vu, a repeat of last time in 2017, but is a second term on the cards for the incumbent President?

In the end, the future of France hinges on one question; what is greater here, fear of Le Pen the right-wing nationalist or hatred of Macron the incumbent?

In this episode of The Fourcast Channel 4 News  Presenter and Europe Editor Matt Frei talks about what to expect ahead of the presidential vote in France on Sunday the 24th of April.
