The French election: Europe on the brink

France will vote in a Presidential election this weekend that could really impact the very future of Europe. The race is between incumbent centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron and far-right candidate, Marine Le Pen.

The French are facing two very different directions …and France is one of Europe’s largest countries … and it could go either way.
