Just days ahead of the second and final round of the presidential election on Sunday, supporters of Emmanuel Macron are multiplying their efforts to encourage voters to cast their ballots for the incumbent president. But even in a Parisian neighbourhood that voted 42.35 percent in favour of Macron in the first round, strong anti-Macron sentiment persists – particularly among supporters of far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who narrowly missed out on being one of the two presidential finalists.
"You take the odd numbers, we'll take the even ones," says Amaury Hoymans, 25, to the group of Macron supporters he has mobilised for a stint of door-to-door campaigning in an apartment complex in the 17th arrondissement (district) of Paris.
