Before the election, Marine Le Pen told me, and every other journalist wanted to Marine Le Pen told me, and every otherjournalist wanted to ask Marine Le Pen told me, and every other journalist wanted to ask that question, Whether Emanuel Macron was her ideal opponent, because she wa nts to her ideal opponent, because she wants to turn it into france versus globalisation. She believes there are many people out there who believe in medal davos mis a davos man, mr moneybags, someone who likes the existing system. If she can tap into that feeling in france, she will expand her support from 20 something which it is now. It will bea something which it is now.

Won there. Today was the date stipulated for the Air Pollution policy to be published. That was until this. I have just chaired a meeting of the cabinet where we agreed that the government should call a general election. Her election announcement, ministers argue, made it impossible to publish the document now. It is too politically sensitive and in breach of election rules.

They had five months to come up scheme. They had five months to come up with a new plan and have waited until the last minute. That is unacceptable until the last minute.
