Rising appeal of extremes in France not a sure path to Le Pen presidency, analysts say
Analysts say gains for political extremes in local elections don’t guarantee a presidential win for Marine Le Pen’s party when Emmanuel Macron leaves office next year.

They noted there is no certainty Le Pen will prevail when Emmanuel Macron must step down next year, the analysts said Monday.
