France may wave a nice French kiss to Emmanuel Macron

No sooner had Germany recovered from its elections, when France's turn to intrigue has come. shaken by the results of the elections, when it was France's turn to intrigue. There is not so much time left before the presidential election in France. Conservatives have yet to choose a candidate from a pool of contenders who seek to outplay the ultra-right and bid a beautiful French goodbye to Emmanuel Macron. Republicans are vying for the right to oppose centrist-oriented Emmanuel Macron, who also intends to run to be reelected. Republicans have decided how to choose their candidate: they are not going to do it through primaries, where rightist electors can vote. They now want to do it in Congress, where it is only party members who have the right to vote. The candidate will have to breathe in new life into the party that considers itself the guardian angel of Charles de Gaulle's values, but still suffers from the shattered reputation of former Prime Minister François Fillon, who left amid a scandal over his wife's fictitious employment and was later convicted.
