Льо Пен отказа подкрепа на Саркози и Оланд Лидерът на крайнодясната френска партия Национален фронт отказа да подкрепи който и да е от двамата кандидати за президент. Марин Льо Пен използа първомайската демонстрация, за да призове поддържниците си да направят същото. Двамата кандидати, които ще отидат на балотаж - Никола Саркози и Франсоа Оланд - използваха събитията, за да уверят хората в своята победа. Пред паметника на Жана Д'Арк Марин Льо Пен обяви, че няма доверие на нито един от двамата кандидати и ще пусне бяла бюлетина. Льо Пен спечели почти 20 процента на първия тур и на гласове на нейни поддръжници разчитаха и Саркози, и Оланд. Самият Саркози събра хиляди последователи в центъра на Париж на площада Трокадеро и в Деня на труда обяви: Никола Саркози, кандидат за президент на Франция: - Пред тази гора от трикольори искам да кажа, че 35-часовата работна седмица не само отслаби фирмите, но и погуби стотици хиляди работни места. Кой иска такава сиутация във Франция? Социалистическият кандидат Франсоа Оланд, който застъпва противополжна позиция, беше на митинг в град Невер, където присъства на възпоменание на Пиер Береговоа - бивш премиер на Франция. След това отиде на пикник в старинна крепост край града. Франсоа Оланд, кандидат за президент на Франция: - За разлика от други не искам помощ от вас. А ви призовавам да изпълните дълга си и да позволите да бъде извършена промяна. Социологическите проучвания показват, че на втория тур ще спечели Оланд с преднина между шест и десет пункта.
