    A home victory for Emmanuel Macron will resonate across Europe

    The French president’s fight with the rail unions will be his toughest test so far

    People attend a rally called by French trade union CGT at Saint-Charles train station in Marseille on April 4, 2018, on the second day of three months of rolling rail strikes. Staff at state rail operator SNCF walked off the job from 7.00 pm (1700 GMT) on April 2, the first in a series of walkouts affecting everything from energy to garbage collection. The rolling rail strikes, set to last until June 28, are being seen as the biggest challenge yet to the President's sweeping plans to shake up France and make it more competitive. / AFP PHOTO / BERTRAND LANGLOISBERTRAND LANGLOIS/AFP/Getty Images
