Macron Vows to Shield Next French Vote from Foreign Influence

President Emmanuel Macron said he would work to protect France’s 2027 election from outside influence just weeks after the US pledged to “cultivate resistance” within Europe to the continent’s current path.

“I will do everything I can to ensure that the presidential election unfolds in the most peaceful way possible,” Macron said in a televised New Year’s eve address. “In particular, free from any foreign interference.”
