The official announcement of the results of the second round, and the victory of the candidate LREM with 58% of the votes, represents an immense relief for all of his supporters, gathered in a brasserie in Dijon (Côte-d’Or)
“Tonight, the French had the choice between withdrawal and the European project, between European universalism and division. They chose Emmanuel Macron, and I am very happy”is satisfied Seedorf Manuel, a young activist.
A satisfaction tinged with a certain restraint in the face of record abstention (28.01%, the highest figure for 53 years) and Marine Le Pen’s score (41.46% of the vote). So despite the victory, Emmanuel Macron’s supporters put things into perspective.
“We cannot be happy to see Marine Le Pen at 42% when we defend the ideas that are ours. So there is also this awareness of the need to always explain and fight against the far right”launches Gaëtan Gouyon, referent of young people with Macron in Côte-d’Or.
Barely the success of Emmanuel Macron acquired, all now turn to another battlethe legislative elections, scheduled for June 12 and 19, 2022. The ballot serves as the third round, while Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI) and Marine (Le Pen) have called on their voters to mobilize to make them win in order to bring the president significant opposition in the National Assembly.
We will have to bring the French people together because we know very well that there is a division, society is fragmented. But I am certain that he will know how to be the president of all the French people.

The former rebellious presidential candidate even dreams of being elected Prime Minister after this vote. But on the side of those close to Emmanuel Macron, it is assured that the victory acquired yesterday arouses a “dynamic” capable of allowing LREM deputies to constitute the majority group at the Palais Bourbon.
“It is necessary to revitalize our democracy and we must work on it. This is also the meaning of the legislative campaign which will begin very soon. We are comforted by this score where Emmanuel Macron is more than double his score as first turn. It’s up to us to make this momentum a reality.”estimates Didier Martin, deputy of the presidential majority.
The activists will thus return to the field to try to convince, once again. Objective: to explain the results of Emmanuel Macron’s first five-year term and defend the project of the re-elected president.
