France Election:"No One Can Stop Me"- Francois Fillon

Francois Fillon, the center-right presidential candidate in the forth coming Presidential election in France has said, no one can stop him from being a candidate.

Mr Fillon is facing investigation over payments he made to his family members for work they did not do. An allegation he is confident he will be cleared from.

Thousands of supporters stormed out in the rain to support Mr Fillon and hear him speak, in a rally held yesterday.
He told the crowd, referring to his opponents "They think I'm alone, they want me to be alone. Are we alone? Thank you for your presence."

Opinion polls on Mr Fillon's popularity has been reported to slide down as a result of the scandal. Top party officials have already started looking for a replacement for Francois Fillon possibly Alain Juppe his rival in the primaries last year, an idea that has been rejected by Mr Fillon.

"If they had wanted Alain Juppe's project, then they would have voted Alain Juppe in that election" he said.
Mr Fillon has insisted on his candidacy by saying "No one can stop me".
