Emmanuel Macron successfully defeated his right rival Marine Le Pen on Sunday, starting a political political earthquake in Europe but acknowledged dissatisfaction with his first term and said he would seek redress.His supporters erupted in excitement as the results appeared on a large screen in Champ de Mars park near the Eiffel tower.
Leaders in Berlin, Brussels, London and beyond have welcomed his defeat of the eurosceptic Le Pen. With 97% of the vote counted, Macron would receive 57.4% strong votes, according to interior ministry figures. But in his victory speech he admitted that many voted for him only to prevent Le Pen from entering and promised to confront the idea of many Frenchmen that their standard of living was declining.
“Many in this country voted for me not because they supported my views but because they did not want to expose themselves to the public. I want to thank and know that I owe them for years to come, ”he said. “No one in France will be left in the lurch,” he said in a message already circulated by French prime ministers marching on French TV channels.
Ukrainian warcreatedeconomic stagnation ahead
Two years of disruption from the epidemic and rising electricity prices fueled by the Ukrainian war have created economic stagnation ahead of the campaign. Rising cost of living has become a growing problem for the world’s poorest. You need to be close to the people and listen to them, “said Virginie, 51, who works as a digital saleswoman at the Macron circle, adding that she needed to overcome her arrogant reputation and soften Macron’s self-proclaimed” Jupiterian “leadership style.

Macronexpectgrace,exposed in elections
Macron can expect a short period of grace or not at all in a country whose striking political divisions are exposed in elections where prominent parties are well received. Many expect street protests that have disrupted part of his first term to resume as he continues to reform the business sector. Government policy will continue as the president has been re-elected, “said Health Minister Olivier Veran.” But we have also heard the message of the French people. “
How Macron is doing now will depend on the upcoming parliamentary elections. Le Pen wants the national anthem a move that raises hopes of working with his long-term rights rival such as Eric Zemmour and his nephew, Marion Marechal. Jean-Luc Melenchon, a left-wing activist in French politics, said he deserved to be prime minister – something that would force Macron to “live” in a strange and chaotic way.
“Melenchon as prime minister. That would be fun. Macron will be upset, but that’s the point,” said Philippe Lagrue, 63, technical director of the Paris theater, who voted for Macron in the run-off after supporting Melenchon for the first time. all around. Outside of France, Macron’s victory has been hailed as a common political liberation in recent years with Britain’s exit from the European Union, Donald Trump’s 2016 election and the rise of a new generation of national leaders.

“Bravo Emmanuel,” European Council President Charles Michel wrote on Twitter. “In this turbulent time, we need a strong Europe and France fully committed to an independent and strategic European Union.” Congratulations to the President and true friend Emmanuel Macon on winning the election, “Ukrainian President VolodymyrZelenskiy said in a Twitter account on Monday morning.
“The financial markets will breathe a sigh of relief following Macron’s victory,” said Seema Shah, Chief Strategist at Principal Global Investors.
Disappointment with Macron is reflected in the negligence rate which is expected to remain at 28%, the highest figure since 1969. The first vote showed that the vote was highly divided by age and socioeconomic status: Two-thirds of the working class voters supported Le Pen, while the same proportion of white and pensioners in support of Macron, the Elabe poll showed.Macron won nearly 59% of votes for 18-24 year olds and the vote was almost equally divided in some age groups.
During the campaign, Le Pen focused on the rising cost of living and Macron’s style is sometimes as traumatic as some of his weak points. He promised a sharp reduction in fuel taxes, zero sales tax on essential items from pasta to nappies, exemptions from young workers’ earnings and a “first French” status in employment and social work.
“I am shocked to see that most French people want to re-elect a president who has been undermining them for five years,” said Adrien Caligiuri, 27, program manager at the Le Pen rally.
Macron, meanwhile, pointed out how much Pen Pen loves Russian Vladimir Putin as he shows he is untrustworthy in the world, while insisting he still has plans to oust France from the European Union – something he denies.
