French presidential foes take spin battle to tumble-drier factory

PARIS, Apr 26 (Reuters) Far-right leader Marine Le Pen sought to steal presidential rival Emmanuel Macron's thunder today with a surprise visit to striking workers in northern France, aiming to wrong-foot him while he was campaigning in the same town.
Visiting the site of a strike at the tumble-drier Whirlpool factory, which is due to close next year, Le Pen pushed her anti-globalisation agenda and attacked Macron who she said was on the side of the employers.
"Emmanuel Macron is with the oligarchs, with the Medef (the employers' association) ... I am with the French workers," she declared in televised comments.
