The upcoming French presidential elections are seeing a rise in extremist candidates, including Eric Zemmour, who is known for his far-right views. Zemmour has announced his candidacy, aiming to reduce immigration and expel foreigners who commit crimes. He will compete against Marine Le Pen, a prominent far-right figure, and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, representing the far-left. Polls suggest Le Pen is favored to advance to the second round, potentially facing Mélenchon. The popularity of current President Emmanuel Macron is declining, contributing to the rise of extremist candidates. The elections are scheduled for April 18, 2027, with a second round on May 2 if necessary.
