Macron has struggled to fulfil the promise of a new kind of presidency after his then newly formed party smashed France’s two major right- and left-wing parties in the 2017 poll. Macron is now less popular with voters, probably including academics and students. And Le Pen, who leadsScience is not often a big factor in France’s elections, and this one is no different.

Le Pen has said she will roll back these changes, and will use some of the money saved from the tax breaks to boost public spending on science. In a written interview this month with Patrick Lemaire, president of the Council of French Academic Learned Societies in Rennes, she declared: “The state will increase the public research budget, in particular by recovering part of the research tax credit.

Bravo. 1.The main issue is not research but having a fascist at the head of the country. 2.Asking researchers not to vote for Le Pen: are you out of your mind? How many researchers do you think would vote for her? About credit impot recherche, please inform yourself. Ridiculous.

I thought I replied earlier... but to repeat, Nature should focus on research, and not degrade itself by dabbling in politics.

Rapidly becoming obselete journal.

Think Le Pen wants to abolish carbon tax...

Are you for political propaganda now?!

If it would keep Nature and other 'scientific' journals out of politics I'd vote for her.
