So, here they go again. Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen: arch rivals, political nemeses and the two frontrunners going head-to-head in the second and reportedly final clash of their careers - and in a (very heated) TV clash last night.
The hotly-anticipated televised presidential election debate saw the two candidates sit 2.5m apart and argue over the cost of living, immigration and the EU, with current president Macron tormenting his rival over her Kremlin links ahead of the second round of the election this weekend. He also claimed the leader of the populist National Rally party’s proposed banning of Muslim veils would cause a civil war.
