Breaking: Macron re-elected French president with 58.2% of the vote • FRANCE 24 English

Centrist incumbent president Emmanuel Macron has been re-elected French president with an estimated 58.2% of the vote, while his far-right challenger Marine Le Pen, took 41.8%. After a fractious campaign that has seen the far right come its closest yet to winning power.

Sixty percent or more would have been better, but if Madame Le Pen at last learns that Hatred is not the sure-fire winner she imagined it to be, that will be satisfactory.

Shame that Marie le Pen didn't discuss the arms that Macron has been selling to Russia since the EU embargo in 2014.

France needs to be allied with Europe entirely.

[noblewolfy]

What a shocker that the French surrender their country once again

[boristihon]

Less votes for Le Pen makes France more trustworthy for the investors

[trevortrevortsr]

That's a bit of relief the alternative was a bit to close to Putin

[hiramabiff]

Election is Void : Macron broke elections rules by campaigning on voting day. tut tut !

[PR-nbrb]

France saved itself for the turmoil of polarisation.

I wanted to paint him Emmanuel macron in front of that building a month ago, but I’m not a portrait painter.. I painted the Eiffel Tower the year he won, that’s something I’ll always have. Thanks President macron.

Sending love from the USA to France ...

I’m very excited he won a 2nd term I knew he would. Democracy is alive and well.
Wow

Congratulations to France for rejecting conservative facism.

The Worse day for France he has treated you
Terribly and you have reelected him..
You had your chance and failed as always

Congratulations to Macron and France...one less Trumpian disciple to worry about

[agonalart]

You would think 80+ years of the Vichy French thing would be enough. I guess those French fascist jack-boots and brown shirts are just way too comfortable.

[lumahellataahua]

Once again France says no to far right

[isaacsechslingloff]

Glory to the free world and an end to nationalism!

[corycrawford]

Congratulations Macron from Toronto Canada

[dornroschen]

Schade, es wird alles so weitergehen wie bisher. Für Frankreich ist die Chance vertan, Europa kann noch mal aufatmen.

[Alex-tqz]

France has confirmed its Greatness - congratulations. By choosing Marine Le Pen, she would have received a Russian perestroik

[patricebouyer]

THANK YOU TO ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT. YESSS, far right has lost, it's a relief, Believe me tribe Lepen is not good.
But I hope that Mr Macron will be better for his second term. All is not always perfect with him. He has a lot of work over the table...the break is deep between french citizens

[outcastp]

Facism and Putin lost tonight. Congratulations to France. Viva la France 🇫🇷
