what we have seen in recent years is the practical obliteration of the traditional left—wing and right—wing parties and instead what you got is en marche!, the party founded by emmanuel macron around six years ago, and the far right under marine le pen rebranded but doing better and betterfrom le pen rebranded but doing better and better from 2012—2017, le pen rebranded but doing better and betterfrom 2012—2017, two now in 2022, with her highest vote share yet in the final round of a french presidential election, so for marine le pen of course, she was speaking early on this evening, she was talking about the fact that they had polled this high vote and looking ahead to the parliamentary elections injune ahead to the parliamentary elections in june and ahead to the parliamentary elections injune and that is another thing emmanuel macron will be bearing in mind this evening that he might have won the presidency according to those projected results and whilst it is not as big a win as he had in 2017 nevertheless it looks comfortable, but he has parliamentary elections to fight as well. historically, it seems, the french tend to choose the party, person or movement they have elected as they then go into the parliamentary elections but marine le pen making it clear she is going to fight, and fight hard, and we have heard from the far left candidate, melenchon that he wants to take the battle to those elections injune as well so, whilst emmanuel macron and his team and people from across the political spectrum have been campaigning for the selection, they might be feeling pretty exhausted by campaigning in recent weeks, they will be looking ahead to the summer when they have to garner another majority for his party in order to have an effective legislature to work with and to bring forward some of his plans, but that being said, i think tonight they will want to mark the moment that emmanuel macron, and there are certainly some building anticipation, i think we are going to see him on stage very shortly addressing voters, they will want to mark the moment that a man has been re—elected as french president for the first time in 20 years, and he is going to be coming to the stage injust a moment. just is going to be coming to the stage in just a moment.— in just a moment. just being announced _ in just a moment. just being announced now. _ in just a moment. just being announced now. certainly. in just a moment. just being | announced now. certainly the flag—waving is becoming quite delirious! everybody waiting for this moment. for the re—elected president of france, emmanuel macron, to come onto the stage to address his supporters, and the country of course, because he will be well aware that, whilst this is a moment of great triumph for him, a sizeable proportion of people did not vote for him. and a sizeable proportion of people did not come out to vote. there are, we see brigi with his wife, brigitte, coming towards the crowd, walking fairly slowly and some younger members —— emmanuel macron with his wife, brigitte. some younger members of the crowd, his supporters, interesting that he is wanting to emphasise youth and the youthful image. in emphasise youth and the youthful ima . e. ii' emphasise youth and the youthful ima . e. ::' ., , , image. in 2017 he was with his famil . image. in 2017 he was with his family- this— image. in 2017 he was with his family. this time _ image. in 2017 he was with his family. this time he _ image. in 2017 he was with his family. this time he is -
