What Would a Le Pen Victory Mean for France? – Inside Story

The two contenders for French President have now emerged. For the first time, they won't come from either of the main parties. Centrist Emmanuel Macron will take on far-right leader Marine Le Pen in the run-off election in two weeks. But this election is about more than just liberal versus conservative. It's about being for or against the establishment, immigration, the European Union and globalisation. So, what will a potential victory for Le Pen mean for France and Europe?
