Macron prépare sa campagne de second tour
La page blanche. Maintenant que le plus dur est fait, se qualifier pour le second tour, le plus compliqué commence, inventer une campagne pour gérer le statut de favori face à Marine Le Pen. L'affiche de la finale de l'élection présidentielle a beau correspondre à celle espérée par Emmanuel Macron, le leader d'En marche ! n'avait pas préparé l'entre-deux-tours. «Nous sommes en train d'organiser tout cela, explique-t-on dans l'entourage du candidat. Nous n'avions pas monté le scénario du second tour.» Superstition ? Bluff ? Intox ? » | Par François-Xavier Bourmaud | lundi 24 avril 2017

The Way to Fight the Tories in June’s Election Is to Turn Brexit against Them
There is a unique element to this election as a result of Brexit. The Tories believe this is to their advantage. But it could be turned against them.
First off – for the avoidance of doubt – I have not urged tactical voting. It is up to each voter to make up their mind on how they will vote. I only want people to make an informed choice. Of course, I hope people will vote Labour, as I will. » | Tony Blair | Monday, April 24, 2017

Editorial du « Monde » : le refus du Front national
Editorial du « Monde ». Le bouleversement du paysage politique provoqué par le premier tour de la présidentielle, dimanche 23 avril, allie deux caractéristiques d’apparence contradictoire : à la fois prévisible et radical, attendu et néanmoins surprenant. Il était prévisible parce que les instituts de sondage, irréprochables tout au long de cette campagne, avaient annoncé la physionomie du second tour depuis plusieurs semaines. » | Par Jérôme Fenoglio (Directeur du "Monde") | lundi 24 avril 2017
Le Pen Savages Macron as France's Mainstream Rallies behind Him
Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right Front National party, has savaged the centrist presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron as a “hysterical, radical Europeanist” who is weak on jihadi terror, as the country’s demoralised mainstream parties threw their weight behind the independent frontrunner in the first day of campaigning for the presidential runoff.
“He is for total open borders. He says there is no such thing as French culture. There is not one area where he shows one ounce of patriotism,” Le Pen said of Macron in her first public statements since addressing supporters on Sunday night after finishing second to the former investment banker in the first-round vote. » | Jon Henley, European Affairs Correspondent | Monday, April 24, 2017

French Parties Unify Against Le Pen: ‘This Is Deadly Serious Now’
But that remarkable accomplishment is so alarming to so many in France that as soon as the preliminary results were announced at 8:01 p.m., virtually all of her major opponents in the 11-person race called for her defeat in the second-round runoff on May 7. They implored their supporters to vote for the candidate projected to come out on top on Sunday, the centrist, pro-European Union former economy minister Emmanuel Macron, a political novice and outsider. » | Adam Nossiter | Sunday, April 23, 2017
