French centrist presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron accused his far-right rival Marine Le Pen of telling lies, while she branded him the "candidate of the elite" in a heated TV debate Wednesday.
"Your strategy is to tell lots of lies, you don't propose anything," 39-year-old former banker Macron told Le Pen, while she replied that he was "the darling of the system" in the debate ahead of Sunday's runoff vote.
