French President Macron warns of 'civil war' if far-left or far-right parties win snap elections
French President Emmanuel Macron has warned of the possibility of a 'civil war', if the far-left or far-right come to power. He has accused both camps of stoking tensions with divisive policies. The far-right National Rally is leading the polls, and the party's 28-year-old leader Jordan Bardella is in the running to be the next prime minister. The left-wing coalition, the New Popular Front, is trying to woo voters with a wealth tax on the rich and a windfall tax on big business. French voters go to the polls on Sunday, in the first round of voting in the snap election called by the president just three weeks ago. Ross Cullen reports.
