Foreign policy has played an unusually prominent role in what will be remembered as a ‘drôle de campagne’ – an odd presidential campaign. The 2022 French presidential campaign was overtaken by one of Europe’s biggest security crises in decades, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As a result, the views and, in some cases the dubious links, of some candidates with Putin’s Russia became one of the Macron campaign’s favourite lines of attack. The fact that France has held the rotating presidency of the European Union since January also meant that the subject of the European project was more central to the political debates than ever.
