Emmanuel Macron gives victory speech following election results

Emmanuel Macron addresses his supporters in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris after early results projected him winning a second term, making him the first French president in 20 years to clinch a second mandate.

An emotional Macron thanked those who voted for him and promised to fight for equality and to recognise the differences of the divided electorate after Marine Le Pen's far-right party won over 40% of the vote

In her concession speech, Le Pen said the party is 'more determined than ever' as she hailed a victory for the National Rally despite the loss in the polls

And so on with the fourth industrial revolution. The ever marching great reset.

Stark contrast to the Le Pen speech, with her supporters booing loudly. At least Macron had enough decency to tell his audience to refrain.

Most of these people are now protesting against him right now 😂😂😂.

I thought the world hated him. I thought the French hated him and still here he is. I guess the young liked this dude

Congratulations, France! I was worried about you guys for a minute. He's not the best choice of all time but the better of the two. Glad sane people came out to vote.

Warning, Le Pen and Putin bots in the comments section!!

The lesser of two evils ? The same situation all over the wold. The people are left with no candidate worth voting for. We live in terrible times.

I'm Polish but his victory made me the most happiness girl in the world. I was LITERALLY crying (especially during his way with EU anthem in the background) ❤️

Macron is the first president to go to second term for last 20 years in France.

Congrats France I’m glad you didn’t go down the same dumb path we did in the U.K. lol

As an American, I'm so relieved! Merci, mon Dieu! Vive la France! 🇫🇷❤🇺🇸🥂🎉

(Macron is way too pro-police; & I'd prefer someone actually leftist instead of "moderate", but definitely better for the freedom of French people, for Europe, for Ukraine, than super right-wing, isolationist, xenophobic Le Pen.)

[CraftyTan]

Are you kidding me you voted him again.

[furanduron]

Imagine your people, millions protesting and rioting for the past 4 years, and still voting for the same guy.

France had one chance and they blew it RIP France
