> Macron is fighting a difficult reelection race

Difficult ? This is one of the less difficult election in a long time, Macron already won this election before it even began. All the top candidates (JLM, MLP, Z) were preaching Putin a few month agos and blaming NATO/EU here an there (It's not a secret there campaigns are financed by russian banks). And they are now trying to keep a low profile about the situation in Ukraine. A few weeks ago Macron was already far ahead, but in a few days It won't be even close.
