PARIS (Reuters) - On Christmas Eve 2015, with France reeling from terror attacks in Paris a month before, Emmanuel Macron sent a letter to the president and prime minister, urging sweeping measures to tackle French inequalities that he believed were fuelling extremism.
The economy minister, who had just celebrated his 38th birthday, didn't expect his bosses to heed his advice, according to aides who described the letter to Reuters. (French election graphic - http://tmsnrt.rs/2lPduBG)
