France's prime minister Manuel Valls has said that far-right leader Marine Le Pen had a chance of winning next year's presidential election, boosted by the momentum of Donald Trump's shock win in the United States. While attending a Berlin economic conference, Mr. Valls said it was ‘possible’ that the populist candidate of France's anti-immigration National Front could win. Le Pen is widely tipped to reach the second round of the election on 7 May , where she would face either a candidate from the left or the right. Warning of ‘the danger presented by the extreme right’, Valls said, ‘This means that the balance of politics will change completely.’
