Macron appealed to his statesmanship, even more so during the war, when he called Vladimir Putin again and again to try to contain him, and did not descend into the mud of the campaign.

While in the 2017 campaign fear of the extreme right was in the air, this time the alarm signals came very late: Le Pen started from the bottom - it was repeated that she was very weakened in her third presidential fight and that the division of the extreme right would cost him dearly - but it began to rise in the last section. And in these years, the warning that "the wolf is coming" became weaker.
