Macron wins: Secret quotes after France’s governmental election
PARIS: President Emmanuel triumphed over his reactionary rival Marine Le Pen by a comfy margin in France’s election on Sunday, early forecasts by pollsters revealed, winning a 2nd term and heading off what would have been a political earthquake.
Here are the very first responses:
Marine Le Pen, beat reactionary opposition
“Tonight’s result is in itself an earth-shattering victory (for us).”
“I fear that the five-year term that will begin will not break with the ruthless techniques of the previous one. In order to avoid the monopolisation of power by a few, especially I will pursue my dedication to France and the French people with the energy, determination and love that you know me for.
Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian
“The French did not desire a France that kips down on itself.”
European Affairs Minister Clement Beaune
“With a far-right at 40%, it reveal we’re going to have to work.”
Health Minister Olivier Veran
“We will not spoil the victory … but the (reactionary) has its higher score ever. There will be continuity in government policy since the president has been re-elected. However we have also heard the French individuals’s message. There will be a change of approach, the French individuals will be sought advice from.
