It has emerged that the populist French candidate Emmanuel Macron is receiving voice lessons from an opera singer to overcome an embarrassing shriek that takes over when the voice is gone.

His coach is the distinguished bass-baritone, Jean-Phillipe Lafont.

    Populist ? Really ?

  • Virenque says:

    I would not call him a populist although his program is not clear.

  • Emil says:

    It seems like everyone is a “populist”, these days…

    • Petros Linardos says:

      Hillary Clinton is generally not called a populist and she beat Donald Trump by about 2% (almost 3 million votes).

  • Nik says:

    Maybe he can advise Lafont on how to overcome the embarrassing croak that takes over when his voice is gone.
