MACRON WANTS ‘TALENT’ FROM UK AFTER BREXIT

London: French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron said he wants London bankers and academics to move to France after Brexit, after a meeting with British Prime MInister Theresa May.

“I want banks, talents, academics, researchers and so on. It will be part of my programme to be attractive for these kinds of people,” he said. Mr Macron was speaking ahead of a campaign speech to drum up support among London’s large community of French voters, as a new poll showed him losing ground ahead of April’s first round presidential election.

He said he wanted to tell expats living in Britain that “France is changing”. “In coming years, they’ll have a lot of opportunities to come back to France and succeed in France,” he said.
