Emmanuel Macron celebrated the ballotage pass: “April 24 will be decisive for France and for all of Europe”

“Nothing is decided,” Macron warned about the second presidential round scheduled for April 24 and said that the French are facing “a decisive moment” for France and Europe.”

With these words, the current president asked for the support of all those who did not vote for him on April 10, even if only to “face the far right”.

According to the polling institutes first estimates, the centrist president would be the most voted candidate this Sunday and would face the far-right Marine Le Pen at the ballotage. Thus Macron, in power since 2017, obtained between 27.6% and 29.7% of votes, followed by Le Pen (23.5% and 24.7%), according to these estimates. The leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon (19.8% and 20.8%) would remain on the verge of the second round that will take place on April 24.

After the estimates were known, the French president received the backing of the defeated socialist, communist, green and right-wing candidates for his second-round election battle this month against far-right leader Marine Le Pen. In a push for Macron, Communist Party candidate Fabien Roussel, socialist Anne Hidalgo, Yannick Jadot of the Greens and Right Republicans candidate Valerie Pecresse said they would vote for him to prevent the far-right leader from coming to power.

Mélenchon, the third and who has the highest number of votes to be distributed, was happy with his performance today and, without calling him by name, he also endorsed Macron. “You don't have to give Le Pen a single vote. I'm going to repeat it: you don't have to give Le Pen a single vote, you don't have to give Le Pen a single vote. Was it understood? I think my message was clear,” he said from his bunker.
