According to France24:
Emmanuel Macron was elected to a second term as French president on Sunday evening with 58.2% of the vote, according to an estimate from the Ipsos polling institute. His far-right challenger Marine Le Pen won 41.8% of the vote in an election that saw the country’s highest abstention rate in 50 years.

- Emmanuel Macron, 44, and Marine Le Pen, 53, squared off once again in a French presidential election final. But the road to Sunday’s rematch of their 2017 duel has been all but a replay of that contest, after a much tighter 2022 race.
- Voter turnout stood at 63.2 percent at 5pm according to the Interior Ministry, down more than 2 percentage points from the 2017 figure at the same hour.
Hopes were high for the conservative Le Pen after she finished a commanding second in the first election, but she was unable to overcome the radical progressivism that has swept across France in recent years.
The French keep committing suicide!
The French are not that stupid, 6 days ago they tried to smear Le Pen with embezzlement charges which were very suspicious. This election was stolen IMO and I think it will come out later.
Rigged.
On the plus side Marine Le Pen’s vote has increased into the 40s from last time. At the last election the plan was for the people to endure 5 years of Napoleon Macron and they would be ready for change. Maybe Covid derailed that but they can now suffer a further 5 years of Napoleon. Also, there are still elections to come for the French parliament where having voted one way, there is the chance to vote for somebody else. This time more candidates are available so it could be that Macron’s party does not get a majority there and will then struggle to pass legislation.
