French President Francois Hollande told government ministers on Wednesday to do all they can to ensure the biggest defeat possible for far right leader Marine Le Pen in the May 7 vote for the presidency against Emmanuel Macron, his spokesman said, APA reported citing Reuters.
Hollande has asked ministers "to fully commit themselves in the election campaign to ensure that Marine Le Pen has the lowest possible score," the spokesman, Stephane Le Foll, said.
Hollande, who has urged people to vote for Macron, asked each minister to be "totally mobilised in this campaign," Le Foll added.
On Sunday, Macron won in the first round of the French presidential election gaining 24.01 percent of vote, while Macron's closest rival, leader of the National Front party Marine Le Pen, who has pledged to put an end to the gay marriages in France if elected president, received 21.3 percent. The two politicians will face each other in a run-off on May 7.
