Le Pen could win French 2022 presidential election - Le Maire
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Saturday it was possible that far-right opposition leader Marine le Pen could win France's presidential election in 2022 and he hoped President Emmanuel Macron would seek a second mandate and help prevent this from happening.
"The election of Marine Le Pen, we all know that is a possibility. It is a political possibility and it must be opposed [...] I hope that Emmanuel Macron runs and is re-elected," Le Maire told BFM television.
