French President Emmanuel Macron voiced regret on Friday for starting campaigning late as opinion polls showed him holding a slender lead over the far-right candidate Marine Le Pen, who he warned would scare investors away from France.
Le Pen has surged in the polls in recent weeks and is expected to face off in the second round against Macron, whose re-election was thought to be a foregone conclusion even a few weeks ago.
"So it is a fact that I entered even later than I wished," Macron said, adding that he retained a "spirit of conquest rather than of defeat." "Her program will create massive unemployment because it will drive international investors away and it will not hold up budget-wise," he said.
