		</div><p>Far-right presidential contender Marine Le Pen has said that people are revolting against the elite and predicted that could translate into a &#8220;very big surprise&#8221; when ballots are cast May 7 in France&#8217;s final round to choose a new leader.</p>
<p>Ms Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron, the independent centrist candidate who is her rival in the upcoming vote, sparred in successive television appearances, tossing insults as each launched a political offensive to win new voters before the balloting in less than two weeks.</p>
<p>Mr Macron placed first in the first-round of the election, followed by Ms Le Pen, and he is viewed as the favourite. Nine other candidates were eliminated. &#8220;There is a revolt of the people against the elite&#8221; seen in Britain&#8217;s Brexit vote and &#8220;probably&#8221; in the election of US president Donald Trump, Ms Le Pen said in a TF-1 television show.</p>
<p>&#8220;The people will probably reserve a very big surprise for the oligarchy,&#8221; the anti-establishment candidate said, referring to elite decision-makers, including Mr Macron, who is a former economy minister and investment banker.</p>
<p>For Mr Macron, Ms Le Pen&#8217;s anti-European Union, anti-immigration platform is based on &#8220;hatred for others&#8221; and contrasts with his desire to &#8220;calm&#8221; the country. The pro-business candidate said he belongs to the &#8220;progressive camp&#8221; with a project &#8220;to make France succeed&#8230; in a stronger Europe&#8221; that his rival wants to leave.</p>
<p>Those are &#8220;two clear offers that come face to face,&#8221; Mr Macron said on French public television.<br />
Ms Le Pen holds out a still starker comparison, saying French voters will be making a choice between &#8220;uncontrolled globalisation and the nation&#8221;.</p>
<p>She contended Mr Macron&#8217;s plan for France amounts to &#8220;fratricide&#8221;, saying it would pit people and companies against each other, with the strongest winning in a land where &#8220;the markets are the boss, money the king&#8221;.<br />
Ms Le Pen started her day at the Rungis wholesale market outside Paris, calling for more food to be produced and consumed.</p>
<p>She said the French government must promote meat from France. &#8220;Let&#8217;s promote the &#8216;eating French&#8217; especially in (school) canteens where our children must take advantage of healthy, quality products,&#8221; she said.<br />
Ms Le Pen was booed by some workers in the fruits and vegetables section.</p>
<p>Criticism came from all quarters on Tuesday, including from her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, the long-time nationalist leader who questioned her campaign. He told France Inter radio that he thinks his daughter has produced a &#8220;too laid-back&#8221; campaign. He said that in her position, he would have done a &#8220;Trump-style&#8221; campaign that would have been &#8220;very aggressive against those who are responsible for the country&#8217;s decadency&#8221;.</p>
<p>He still supports her candidacy in the presidential run-off.</p>
