PARIS, May 1 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of French people took to the streets in many cities to mark the traditional May Day, with some trade unions seeking to make the day a national mobilization to block the far-right National Front from taking power on May 7.
The outcome of the first round of France's most uncertain election on April 23 sent centrist novice Emmanuel Macron and anti-Europe and immigration candidate Marine Le Pen to a final round, a duel that rocked the country's political mainstream and smashed the efforts to forge a Republican front against the extreme right.
For this year's May Day

"We refuse ambiguity. Abstention is a half voice for (Marine) Le Pen, we will vote (Emmanuel) Macron," Laurent Begy, head of CFDT said.
"We have to push back the FN and continue to build solidarity in France," he added.
Meanwhile

"Today

In her speech, Le Pen lashed out at her rival as the face of establishment who "is just (outgoing president) Francois Hollande who wants to stay and who is hanging on to power like a barnacle."
Firing back, Macron described the National Front
Cheap Michael Raffl Jersey , as "the anti-France, what this party defends, announces, proposes, is the inevitable collapse of what France has made France, the denial of our values."
Instead

"I will fight up until the very last second not only against her program but also her idea of what constitutes democracy and the French Republic," he told thousands of supporters.

The two frontrunners will face off in a televised debate on May 3.
MADRID， Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona will make some important squad rotations as they look to end the group stage of the UEFA Champions League on a positive note when they entertain Borussia Monchengladbach in the Camp Nou on Tuesday night.
The disappointment of Sergio Ramos' last minute equalizer in Saturday's Classico against Real Madrid was palpable in Barcelona on Sunday， but there is no time for disappointment at the Camp Nou， indeed coach Luis Enrique can use the Borussia game to rest key players and give game time to others.
Barca are already assured of qualifying from their group as group winners and as such Tuesday offers a chance to rest some tired legs， while bringing other players up to speed.
Neymar misses the game through suspension and Enrique will give former Valencia striker， Paco Alcacar another chance to score his first goal for the club.
Meanwhile following his impressive 30 minutes after returning from injury in the last half hour of the Classico， Andres Iniesta will be given the chance to build up match fitness ahead of the weekend trip to play Osasuna.
Rafinha or Denis Suarez could also be given the chance to stake a place in midfield ahead of Ivan Rakitic， who has been out of sorts of late.
Samuel Umtiti will also start as he also looks to return to full fitness， although it is not clear whether Gerard Pique will be his partner in central defense， or whether young defender Marlon will be given a chance to impress following a series of convincing displays for the Barcelona B-team.
Barca can count themselves slightly unlucky not to have beaten Madrid on Saturday， but the fact is the side is still underperforming， with their traditional flowing football appearing only in fits and starts. Enrique needs Iniesta back to his best if the Champions are to recover both their confidence and their style.
