The essential
We are 11 days away from the second round of the presidential election, which will pit Emmanuel Macron against Marine Le Pen.
On TF1, Marine Le Pen castigated last night on TF1 her “extremely harsh policy towards the most modest”, ensuring that she had “the most protective project” of the social protection system.
She will talk today about “France which works” and will continue with a press conference on the theme of diplomacy and foreign policy.
Emmanuel Macron regains his role as president with a Council of Ministers, then he will participate in the 20 Hours of TF1 this evening.
The outgoing president estimated yesterday that this second round was also “a referendum on Europe”.

Roussel denies having weighed down Mélenchon
The communist Fabien Roussel, who obtained 2.3% of the votes in the first round, defends himself in L'Humanité for having lost Jean-Luc Mélenchon (22%), who missed the second round for 420,000 votes.
He says he regrets “an allegedly useful vote which siphoned off the votes of many candidates, including me, to the benefit of the first three and to the detriment of political pluralism”.
Fabien Roussel rejects the idea that the PCF, support of Jean-Luc Mélenchon in 2012 and 2017, contributed to the defeat of the Insoumis: "The 802,588 voters who voted out of conviction for my candidacy, for Happy Days, would not have voted for another left-wing candidate.
