That. I want to take you now that you correspondentJessica Parker, who is at the foot of the eiffel tower, i should say she is with macron supporters waiting to hear from their winning candidate, the re elected president Emmanuel Macron. What are people saying . What is the atmosphere like . figs macron. What are people saying . What is the atmosphere like . Is the atmosphere like . As you can hear there is is the atmosphere like . As you can hear there is probably is the atmosphere like . As you can hear there is probably something i is the atmosphere like . As you can | hear there is probably something of a party atmosphere. Soon after the result was announced they started blaring out all sorts of tunes and music and as you can see, the eiffel tower being lit up as supporters gather and wait for a man macron to arrive. We expect him to come here fairly shortly to address supporters and to address the nation, as he is re elected as the french president , the first person to manage to do that in 20 years. France, it is said, favours change, but at the selection they were offered the same choice, they went with the man who had already been in office, a sense of continuity, and it is interesting, if you look into the crowd this evening, you might not be able to see them but a lot of them waving french flags and European Union flags as well. A Manual Macron himself said that the selection was a referendum on europe and while we know Marine Le Pen has softened her stance on the eu before the selection, there were nerves in muscles particularly about what i Marine Le Pen presidency would mean for the bloc, france is the second biggest contributor to the eu and its biggest military power, so her proposals to top frances contributions to the eu, proposals to radically reform immigration were seen as something that could really threaten the strength of the European Union, which is already dealing with what some are calling errant nation such as poland and hungary so this is notjust an election that matters here for a Manual Macron supporters in france but across europe as well, and as i say, Marine Le Pen� s plans for radical reforms whilst very appealing to some voters in france didnt pull appealing enough to get her a victory. Didnt pull appealing enough to get her a victory her a victory. Jessica, you will not know this but her a victory. Jessica, you will not know this but as her a victory. Jessica, you will not know this but as you her a victory. Jessica, you will not know this but as you were her a victory. Jessica, you will not i know this but as you were speaking, we were seeing pictures of the motorcade of a Manual Macron, but it is making its way towards you, so i would suspect that he is not very far away, to make his Victory Speech, and it is going to be interesting to hear what his tone is, because he has won, but by a lesser margin than he did in 2017. I wonder, while we stay on these pictures, i am joined wonder, while we stay on these pictures, iamjoined by wonder, while we stay on these pictures, i am joined by nathalie loiseau, who belongs to the latter oblique on marsh party. You will be happy to see these pictures, but it is the case that he has won by less of a margin than he did in 2017, so many people are saying that this was not a good choice between macron and le pen. The not a good choice between macron and le pen. ,. , not a good choice between macron and le pen. ,. ,. , le pen. The french people have decided very le pen. The french people have decided very clearly le pen. The french people have decided very clearly by le pen. The french people have decided very clearly by a le pen. The french people have decided very clearly by a big le pen. The french people have decided very clearly by a big margin of more decided very clearly by a big margin of more than 16 for a Manual Macron, of more than 16 for a Manual Macron, and of course he is not a new macron, and of course he is not a new leader macron, and of course he is not a new leader that he was in 2017. He has been new leader that he was in 2017. He has been leading this country across prices, has been leading this country across prices, the has been leading this country across prices, the covid pandemic and a War In Europe prices, the covid pandemic and a War In Europe so, prices, the covid pandemic and a War In Europe so, i am not surprised he does in europe so, i am not surprised he does not in europe so, i am not surprised he does not score as highly as he did in 2011 does not score as highly as he did in 2017~ but does not score as highly as he did in 2017. But the good news is that french in 2017. But the good news is that french people are not ready to give their confidence to a far right candidate. They want someone who looks candidate. They want someone who looks ahead and prepares for the future, looks ahead and prepares for the future, not looks ahead and prepares for the future, not who looks back at the past future, not who looks back at the ast. �. ,. , future, not who looks back at the ast. �. ,. ,. , past.

You know that france is a very their remarks. You know that france is a very centralised country and i think is a very centralised country and i think this is a very centralised country and i think this has to change.

That is interesting, i was speaking to l interesting, i was speaking to someone earlier you were saying this is the second election in which the left has not been a choice for voters. Is it time to look at the way in which france conducts its president ial elections . There is a big question that inevitably this is a question that is being asked. You would have a question that is being asked. You would have to a question that is being asked. You would have to ask a representative from would have to ask a representative from parties of the left, as well as from from parties of the left, as well as from the from parties of the left, as well as from the centre right. They perform very poorly from the centre right. They perform very poorly in the first round. People very poorly in the first round. People realise that the challenges ahead people realise that the challenges ahead do not fit into traditional divides ahead do not fit into traditional divides between left and right. We speak divides between left and right. We speak about Climate Change, do you have to speak about Climate Change, do you have to he speak about Climate Change, do you have to be from the left or the right have to be from the left or the right to have to be from the left or the right to tackle it . If you speak about right to tackle it . If you speak about the right to tackle it . If you speak about the War In Europe, the old patterns about the War In Europe, the old patterns dont fit with current realities patterns dont fit with current realities. But i think we also have to realise realities. But i think we also have to realise that it cannot be always an eternity to realise that it cannot be always an eternity between the moderates on one side an eternity between the moderates on one side and the extremes of the other one side and the extremes of the other otherwise it is looking dangerous. Other otherwise it is looking dangerous other otherwise it is looking dancerous. ,. , dangerous. You said that in his first term. Dangerous. You said that in his first term, emmanuel dangerous.

Think it is one of the reasons why voters, even some who do not belong to en voters, even some who do not belong to en marche , gave him their vote, because to en marche , gave him their vote, because they understand that these challenges can only be faced together with other europeans. We. Talked together with other europeans. Talked about the abstention rate. Again these are projected figures but it could be as high as 28 , which i think is a record or a near record. You must find that worrying that people are so dispirited that theyjust that people are so dispirited that they just didnt that people are so dispirited that theyjust didnt bother to vote. It is a global phenomenon, this figure, which is a global phenomenon, this figure, which is is a global phenomenon, this figure, which is high for france, would be considered which is high for france, would be considered as positive in a number of democracies. There is something that bears of democracies.

There are suggestions, inevitably, from your critics and the opposition, that suggest that thatis the opposition, that suggest that that is going to be quite difficult for your party, and could mean that present macron is left without the sort of support he needs to get his programme through.

Immediately after the first one, many voters from the left were hesitating, so the polls were closer at the time with 52, 53 for Emmanuel Macron. It happened that progressively being called to again to face the extreme right, some voters decided to support macron that clearly the analysis of the polls show that a significant part of macron voters chose to put his name in the ballot. Primarily to oppose Marine Le Pen. 0n the other hand, having more than 40 for Marine Le Pen, basically about 30 million voters, it is 2. 5 million votes more than five years ago, so it is a record for the National Front. It poses the question of the felicity of what is being called in france the republican front.

It is a party that has no leader today, and the republicans had no leader today. It will be quite tricky for them to replicate strong representations. The match is very much open.

There he is in the back of that car. Ispotted him, i dont him. There he is in the back of that car. I spotted him, i dont know if you can see him there. That in fact is the re elected president macron, on his way to the foot of the eiffel tower where he will be making his Victory Speech to some very happy and i imagine, once they see him delirious supporters, obviously extremely relieved that he has won. I would like to take you now to our correspondentJessica Parker who is correspondent Jessica Parker who is with correspondentJessica Parker who is with the macron supporters at the foot of the eiffel tower. There she goes. Just to recap, so we are getting the projected Victory Figure now as being 58. 5 for Emmanuel Macron, Sojust Nudging Up and reversing pictures, as im talking to you, of the motorcade coming towards you. What will be interesting will be the turn of his speech because he has won, it is a huge moment for him but he has won with a smaller percentage of the vote and it sounds as if Marine Le Pen has put on several million more votes than last time. It will be interesting to hear how he calibrated. Interesting to hear how he calibrated. ,. ,. , , calibrated. That will be a massive calculation calibrated. That will be a massive calculation for calibrated. That will be a massive calculation for emmanuel calibrated. That will be a massive calculation for Emmanuel Macronj calibrated. That will be a massive calculation for Emmanuel Macron this evening. He will be aware of the millions of votes he has garnered, not all of those will have been of people who like him, who like his policies or particularly want him as their president but perhaps they felt they couldnt vote for Marine Le Pen, maybe they wanted to block le pen, maybe they wanted to block le pen, may be in the first round they voted for the green party, a left wing candidate, so maybe he will want to address supporters from across the spectrum, including Marine Le Pen supporters. During his presidency he has seen the yellow vest movement, considerable anger at things like energy prices, so i think he will want to avoid any sense of being too triumphant this evening. It was interesting two weeks ago when he topped the first round ballot, his message was very much one of, we mustnt be complacent, we must keep fighting on. I think politicians are often keen not to appear too triumphant when they have a victory but he will want to thank and reward his supporters as well. Those people who have worked for him across the country, on the ground, those people who have turned out tonight, who have been having a bit of a party since the result was announced. They have come down a little bit now, because theyre waiting in anticipation for a Manual Macron to arrive. I am sure he will be greeted with huge cheers because it is a huge personal achievement for him, as has been reflected through the evening. The first time in 20 years that a french president has managed to be re elected, so for Emmanuel Macron who burst onto the scene five years ago, launched his own political party, and then five years on has managed to be re elected again in what became a tougher fight than many seemed to anticipate earlier on in the year when frankly it looked like it would be a Walk In The Park for him but then Marine Le Pen really hitting the campaign trail, talking of those cost of living issues and the french president re elected this evening will want to address supporters from across the political spectrum, knowing that there are millions of french people out there who absolutely didnt vote for him or even voted for him reluctantly. Seeing pictures of the motorcade which has come to a stop. We think mr macron is out of the car. There he is. There you can see him just within that whole group of people, so clearly his arrival on the stage at his Victory Party is imminent. 0ne at his Victory Party is imminent. One wonders, just, what his supporters are hoping to hearfrom him because he will have his work cut out for him. This is a moment of great triumph. It is an out and out victory, not as resounding as five years ago but a clear victory for him. But one wonders whether among his supporters that there will be people who are aware that it is not the victory that he got five years ago and that a fairly large proportion of people appear to have abstained. Yes, voter apathy is something, talking to voters in the past few weeks, you came across a lot. People were frustrated that they were being presented with the same choice that they had in 2017, Marine Le Pen versus Emmanuel Macron, and remember one lady i spoke to in particular and she said she didnt like Marine Le Pen, she absolutely did not want her to be present but you were so fed up with being presented with the same choice that she was not going to vote for either of them, she was going to vote blank, as they put it, because she felt the only way to send a message to politicians that it wasnt acceptable to presenting the same choices. That being said, what we have seen in recent
