This is the best summary I could come up with:
PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron warned Monday that a victory for the far left or the far right in this month’s snap election could spark “civil war.”
Macron said the far-left France Unbowed and Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally both pursued divisive policies that stoked tensions between communities.
The far left, led by the firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon, encourages a form of division for electioneering purposes “that also [promotes] civil war because it reduces people to their religious or ethnic group,” Macron went on.
