Emmanuel Macron goes to the tweezers

The polls, Sunday, April 24, 2022, handed their verdict on the second round of the presidential election in France. Unsurprisingly, it was the outgoing president, Emmanuel Macron, who was reappointed for a new term, after a sanctioning vote for the candidate of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, who failed again at the bottom of the ladder, which is punished by several candidates. Speech of xenophobia, racial discrimination and racism against all minorities and all foreigners living in France.

Emmanuel Macron passed with 58% of the vote against 42% for Marine Le Pen, with an abstention rate of about 28%.


The National Front candidate once again paid big sums for her stances on Europe, the war in Ukraine, headscarves and smoldering economic issues, a subject where she has major shortcomings.


For his part, President Emmanuel Macron was elected, who snatches victory with tweezers to cut the way to the National Front, which carries outdated outdated values, and has never succeeded in getting rid of its old clichés and all this bad literature based on division. Others refused. It must be said that Emmanuel Macron has benefited greatly from the Muslim electorate Jean-Luc Melincon who threw all their weight in this election to determine the least bad winner in a political climate marked by disapproval and the general was tired, a serious economic and political crisis fell, social divisions and a clear lack of vision for France’s future , in an overall recession.


Moreover, Emmanuel Macron said that if he emerges victorious from the polls on Sunday, the candidate of La République en Marche in the 2022 presidential election, he wants to adopt a law this summer in favor of purchasing power. How do ? This equation has several unknowns.


For her part, Marine Le Pen confirmed that she intends in particular to “engage in the renegotiation” of European treaties and encourage “the strategic rapprochement between NATO and Russia”, at the end of the war in Ukraine. Marine Le Pen also ruled out the idea of ​​integrating Eric Zemmour and his niece, Marion Marechal, into her government.


Marine Le Pen also wanted to launch very quickly after coming to power, in particular a package of measures for the “basket of the French”, in order to give them “150 to 200 euros per month of purchasing power”. Among these measures, the reduction of value-added tax from 20% to 5.5% on energy prices (fuel, gas, electricity and heating oils) and the abolition of value-added tax on a basket of “100 basic products, food and hygiene”.


Marine Le Pen also promised to remove France from the integrated leadership of NATO and create a new European order, by creating a “European coalition of states, aimed at gradually replacing the European Union”, which includes Hungary and Poland.


We understand why the National Front candidate always loses her bet to reach the highest office in the republic. With such ideas, it is not yet ready to embody national unity and good neighborliness with Europe. Which costs him every time a sanctioned vote without appeal.


It should also be noted here that on April 24, 2022, nearly 48.7 million French were called to the polls, fifteen days after the first round, which saw the outgoing president come out on top of the votes cast (27.85%), ahead. Among the far-right candidate (23.15%) and La France Insoumise candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon (21.95%). The abstention rate was 26.31%.
