French President Emmanuel Macron shakes hands with well-wishers as he heads to the polling station in Le Touquet, northern France, on Sunday. PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron comfortably won reelection to a second term Sunday, according to polling agencies' projections. In the midst of Russia's war on Ukraine, the result offered the European Union the reassurance of stable leadership in the bloc's only nuclear-armed power and was immediately hailed by France's allies.
"We have a lot to do and the war in Ukraine reminds us that we are going through tragic times where France must make its voice heard," he said, as several hundred supporters happily waved French and EU flags to the beat of Daft Punk's"One More Time." Italian Premier Mario Draghi hailed Macron's victory as"splendid news for all of Europe" and a boost to the EU"being a protagonist in the greatest challenges of our times, starting with the war in Ukraine."Five years ago, Macron won a sweeping victory over Le Pen to become France's youngest president at 39. The margin is expected to be much smaller this time: Polling agencies Opinionway, Harris and Ifop projected Sunday that Macron would win at least 57% of the vote.
Breaking through the threshold of 40% of the vote is unprecedented for the French far-right. Le Pen was beaten 66% to 34% by Macron in 2017 and her father got less than 20% against Chirac.
