France election .. French President Emmanuel Macron was re-elected President. Macron won the presidency for the second time in a row. Macron received 58 percent of the vote, while his opponent, Marine Leipen, received 42 percent. With this, Leipen accepted his defeat before the official results came out. Following Macron's victory, his supporters waved French and European flags while singing the national anthem in front of the Eiffel Tower.
The 39-year-old Macron, who won the election five years ago over Marine Le Pen, holds the record for being the youngest president in France. Macron also holds the record for the second consecutive term as President of France in the last 20 years. Meanwhile, as the Russian offensive against Ukraine continues, Macron's re-election is seen by many political figures as a guarantee of leadership stability in the European Union, including France.
Macron's success is being hailed by leaders around the world. EU Chief Ursula Vander Lein tweeted that France and Europe would work together to further develop Macron. The EU hopes to continue extensive cooperation with NATO. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson said, "France is one of our closest and most important allies. Congratulations on the re-election of Macron as President of France."
