Emmanuel Macron is, again, the Prime Minister of the French Republic. The leader of La Republique En Marche in the ballot defeated Marine Le Pen, candidate of the Réssemblement National (with 58% of the votes according to the first projections). The forecasts of the polls were therefore respected, despite the fact that 42% of her was a “resounding victory” for Le Pen.
What country will Macron find to govern? Surely a France divided, between its supporters of the first hour, a quarter of the voters, and its numerous detractors: obviously the 42% who voted for Le Pen and which counts not only the elderly or those of rural areas and suburbs, from gilet jaune to “cut off” by globalization, but also the young electorate, that 21.95% who voted for Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s La France Insoumise in the first round.
Macron in the last days of the campaign tried to convince them all by seeking the vote of those who find Le Pen unacceptable – saying that the vote was a referendum on the secular state (reference to the prohibition of Islamic headscarves in public places that Le Pen proposed) and on the Europe (the leader of RN wants the “Europe of Nations”, not the European Union) – and also that of the disappointed in her government – said that, if successful, she would undertake to broaden the debate and “reunite”, that is, what he has not done in five years, in which for many he has closed himself in the Palace without listening to the real country. Then he went to Marseille, the stronghold of Mélenchon (here La France Insoumise had collected 31.12% of the votes in the first round), where he promised a new mandate in the name of ecology and sustainable energy. Will he keep his promises? All that remains is to wait.
