Macron is already over. Can anyone stop Le Pen?
The president must decide if his candidates should drop out and back the left to stop the far right winning power in France for the first time.
PARIS — Emmanuel Macron faces a bitterly painful choice: Throw everything he’s got at stopping the far right, or try to save what remains of his once-dominant movement before it dies.
Europe’s second-biggest economy and its only nuclear-armed power is now closer than ever before to ushering in a far-right government for the first time, after Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) took a dramatic lead in the first stage of voting.
