Far-right leader 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.

Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally party, lost to Macron in the 2017 election. Opinion polls indicate she will be Macron's main challenger in the election next year.
