While Emmanuel Macron, the sitting President, came top with 27.8% of the votes, Marine Le Pen, a far-right, anti-immigrant leader, finished second with 23.1%. The conservative and socialist parties crumbled \u2014 with a combined 6.7% vote \u2014 while the far-right and leftist candidates won more than half of the polled votes. The <strong>run-off (A final election to resolve an earlier election that did not produce a winner)<\/strong>, on April 24, will determine who is to lead the European Union\u2019s second largest economy. Opinion polls suggest that the race will not be easy for Mr. Macron as Ms. Le Pen, whose popularity was at 16% in February, has gained a lot of ground. If in 2017, Mr. Macron defeated Ms. Le Pen in the run-off with a <strong>whopping (Very large) <\/strong>32 percentage point margin, his lead now, say polls, is between two to six points. While <strong>resentment (A feeling of deep and bitter anger and ill-will) <\/strong>over inflation and the rising cost of living remains high, Ms. Le Pen is offering a cocktail of hard nationalism and anti-establishment politics to win over disaffected voters without losing her far-right base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five years ago, there was large-scale consolidation among the voters from across the political spectrum, often referred to as the \u2018republican front\u2019, behind Mr. Macron. They wanted to defeat Ms. Le Pen\u2019s dangerous politics, which they believed was against the French republican values. The biggest challenge he faces today is in keeping this coalition intact while facing a more powerful rival. Leaders of the conservative and leftist parties have <strong>endorsed (Give support or one&#8217;s approval to) <\/strong>Mr. Macron for the run-off, but it is not clear, given the political changes under way, whether their voters would <strong>follow suit (Do what someone else is doing)<\/strong>. In 2017, Mr. Macron was a new face \u2014 an outsider with a liberal, progressive heart. But as President, his pro-business policies have <strong>alienated (Make withdrawn, isolated or emotionally dissociated) <\/strong>leftist voters, who supported Jean-Luc M\u00e9lenchon in the first round. Mr. Macron\u2019s decision to close down some mosques and crack down on religious organisations have also led to cracks in the social coalition that backed him in 2017. Ms. Le Pen, already powered by the anti-immigrant hard nationalists, is trying to win over the anti-capitalist voters angry with Mr. Macron. She has also taken a <strong>nuanced (characterized by subtle shades of meaning or expression) <\/strong>view of the Ukraine war. While she has condemned it, she is critical of the sanctions, which Mr. Macron supported in coordination with the EU and the U.S. Her argument is that the sanctions are hurting French consumers. She also wants to take French troops out of NATO\u2019s military command. A Le Pen win would alter the character of France\u2019s <strong>polity (The form of government of a social organization) <\/strong>and challenge the combined efforts of the EU and NATO in opposing Putin\u2019s war on Ukraine. This possibility is what makes the April 24 run-off one of the most consequential presidential elections in France in decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/rbi-grade-b\/?refcode=3983&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Apr+15%2C+2022%3B+Day+270_150422_RBIGBM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=RBIGBM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/RBI-Grade-B-Free-Mock-Test-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17760\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep your vocabulary updated with the help of our articles where we highlight 10 difficult words\/ phrases and explain their contextual sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17762,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,2,19,31,18,1773,16,23,1734,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-17758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ecgc-po","category-rbi-assistant","category-rbi-grade-b","category-sbi-clerk","category-sebi-grade-a","category-sidbi-grade-a","category-ssc-cgl","category-ssc-chsl","category-ssc-mts","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Apr 15, 2022;
