Soirée spéciale | French Elections ONLINE

We now know the last two candidates still in the running for becoming France's next President of the Republic : incumbent president, Emmanuel Macron (La République en Marche, LREM) with 27.6% in the first election round, and far-right leader, Marine Le Pen (Rassemblement National, RN) with 23.4%.
It is time to take a closer look at their programme for the next 5 years.

Hosted by Hague Corporate Affairs, the pan-European public affairs consultancy, the CCI France-Pays Bas is pleased to invite you to a debate on the French Presidential Elections on Tuesday, 19^{th April 2022} , just a few days preceding the final election night on the 24^th.
