she is from the university of paris in a thank you very much indeed for joining us. tell us a bit more about the impact of the war and ukraine on this election because of course it's something it began in february really changed the way the many people looked at this vote. yes, actually for, for this war has not just affected the presidential raised in france, but it has a completely modified the main focuses over all the whole campaign agenda today. and really in the international agenda up to the 1st place. oh, this is actually very surprising because her and today's jazz, despite all this, all do political french tradition which is saying that the elections presidential elections and friends have to be very, very friend, centered and french focused. so we must say that at the same time this, you train in war, put a lot of candidates at these presentations raise, you know, very, very difficult and delicate position. and these somehow can consume today, this idea that today we can not anymore or that we cannot win or lose presidential election by, you know, due to th

she joins me from the university of paris. a sack lay. she is a specialist in the european union. thank you very much for joining us in de tanya . ah, when it comes to the e. u, we have 2 candidates with 2 very different positions. tell us a bit about them between a menu macro and marine the pen. yet cindy dev, a very different position, a manual mac hoya we'll know is a big supporter of the european union, a process currently you present of the conceal of the european union. so it means that the emanuel mccoy really supports a lot of you. questions and mothers as mary lou been on the opposite of for a lot of people, she wants to exit the your opinion, which is not really what she's saying. no, because she has a different her a speech. she changed her speech about that, and it's interesting because it makes also a speech more realistic because it's complicated to exit the u as we saw with the u . k. and now she won se ally alliance of the european nations. and the idea is actually to continue to have an union of european countries, but countries that do support different values, n

also by nacira guenif 7 she s a professor of sociology at university of paris 8 vincennes7saint denister in the programme we'll speak to representatives of the main political parties. we also have correspondents in key locations. jessica parker is at the campaign headquarters of emmanuel macron, at the paris expo porte de versailles, that s in the capital s 15th arrondissement, about 5km from where we re standing. nick beake is in the 12th arrondissement, where marine le pen�*s supporters and campaign staff are waiting to see if opinion polls putting her within touching distance of the frontrunner, that will be confirmed in the actual vote. and we have anna holligan, live at the cirque d'hiver in the 11th arrondissement, about 6km from our base that's the campaign headquarters ofjean luc melenchon, the 70—year—old leftist founder of the france unbowed movement. we'll be hearing from then in a moment but first here's a round—up of the day's events from lucy williamson. flowers outside the polling station are always welcome on election day but it's his popularity inside that counts. aft

of the presidential vote in france, opposition candidate marine la pan has spock's controversy by suggesting the usaa should compensate paris for its losses. ever. sanctions against russia, it is, it does universe of shipment. the u. s. wants to stop the import of rush and guess it will have consequences to gas and electricity prices will probably multiply by 6 fold for the french, the americans. what so liquified guess and will therefore make significant profits . so they should probably compensate france for the difference in crisis. meanwhile, the european union's anti fraud body has accused marine le pen embezzling about 620000 jurors. the politician and several of her party members, including her father, allegedly spend money from eve funds on their own parties, events and staff. the allegations cover le pen service in the european parliament from 2004 to 2017. she has denied the accusations, but it's now close to nickel and markovich political analysts from paris to discuss this situation. thank you for joining us on the program. now. the investigation was started in 2018, but they use anti fraud body sentence report to french justice only on march. the 11th this year during the 2nd round

alexandre kouchner, a political analyst here and nacira guenif, professor of sociology and anthropology at the university parisown on last time, what you read into that? i percentage points down on last time, what you read into that?— what you read into that? i think the questionnaire _ what you read into that? i think the questionnaire asking _ what you read into that? i think the questionnaire asking themselves i what you read into that? i think the questionnaire asking themselves in| questionnaire asking themselves in the high court as he did not turn out? the question is, who did not come out, was at the melenchon voters who would support my 0micron simply because they hate marine le pen? melenchon was the runner—up came third, of the radical left. melenchon was the runner-up came third, of the radical left.— third, of the radical left. exactly, he was very _ third, of the radical left. exactly, he was very close, _ third, of the radical left. exactly, he was very close, was _ third, of the radical left. exactly, he was very close, was around i third, of the radical left. exactly, i he was very close, was

such information was the possibility of captures of universities and possible pogroms in different cities. and not only, uh, in pariswell, nevertheless, but now the choice is between two candidates. macron, le pen macron, this is globalism. this is big business. these are the elites, these are new sanctions against russia, this is sponsoring, financing and supplying weapons to ukraine. well, the training of the ukrainian military. here in france, marine le pen, in contrast to this, is a patriotic candidate who talks about national unification. she opposes the energy embargo, for example, only for the simple reason that it will hit the french wallets now and the prices for fuel, gas and light are growing, pulling behind food prices. and clearly they are not going to stop. which path france will choose today will become clear in a few hours. in any case, there remains one more large camp of disagreement. the same voters, jean- luc melenchons, who are already now fighting to win the parliamentary elections to be held here in six months. it is clear that the political landscape of france has already changed. it is clear

paris. jonah levy is an associate professor of politics at the university of california, berkeley.ia now. thank you very much for talking to us. you have written three books on france with a fourth on the way. i wonder if you would put what we have seen in this election after this point into a book, what would your key observations be? my into a book, what would your key observations be?- key observations be? my key observation _ key observations be? my key observation would _ key observations be? my key observation would be - key observations be? my key observation would be that. key observations be? my key| observation would be that the challenges difference democracy have not been resolved by the selection. but there is some good news. the negative side, there are several dimensions of this election that are disturbing from a democratic standpoint. the first is that an entire system protest parties gathered 60% of the vote on the first round. if the french and i system parties had behaved like their italian counterparts, they would be celebrating victory today so there is a very
