Emmanuel Macron has just a few months left in office: the dates for the French presidential election have been made official. The first round is set to take place on April 18th, while the second - and final - one is set for May 2nd. Those dates coincide with a heavy holiday season, something that some candidates have already started criticising - but the government has said those dates were chosen to comply with the French constitution. #frenchpolitics #france #election 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
