El Mundo: Macron Nears to Win Second Presidential Term

The Spanish newspaper "El Mundo" highlighted the French elections scheduled for next Sunday.

The Spanish daily newspaper said that the far-right has already become a grave concern more than ever, as Marine Le Pen is benefiting from the Ukrainian war in the final stages of her election campaign.

In a report published on its website, the newspaper indicated that Le Pen's progress in recent polls has become a concern for President Emmanuel Macron.

The newspaper pointed out that there are economic risks to the stock market and the economy if Le Pen wins.

The newspaper noted that 48.8 million French will cast ballots in the first round of the presidential elections. The two most voted options will vie for power in the second round on April 24.

The French elections are looking at the polls, which paint an increasingly equal picture, with Marine Le Pen able to rival Emmanuel Macron if she takes second place to the strength of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
