“Tonight's result represents in itself a resounding victory,” said Marine Le Pen, who said she had “no resentment or rancor.” The candidate expressed her “deep appreciation to all those who trusted us in the first round (...) and to all those who accompanied us in the second round”.
On Sunday, the French entrusted a new five-year term to centrist president Emmanuel Macron in the ballotage against Marine Le Pen, who despite losing achieved the best result of the extreme right in a presidential election in the country.
