The outgoing French President Emanuel Macron won the presidential elections, as I expected through a number of essays published on this leading news website.
The youth president won 58.5 % of the votes, meanwhile, Marianne Le Pen, leader of the far-right got 41.5% of the electorate.
These results have stirred a wave of satisfaction among leaders of the European Union and the Western hemisphere who expressed their delight as they considered Macron's victory a triumph for the EU.
Those leaders expressed their happiness to cooperate with France for another five years during the second presidential term Macron.
The French Presidential elections, where 48.7 million voters cast ballots, bore historic importance as Macron was the first re-elected president since Jacque Chirac in 2002.
But the political life in France is still more complicated compared with previous times because French voters pushed away candidates of the right and left parties over the first round of the elections.
Also, the results of Macron over the first round make him represent about a fifth of the French population and a great part of the voters that voted for Macron came from those who wanted to prevent the candidate of the far-right from coming to the Palais de l'Élysée.
Macron acknowledged these results during his speech about winning.
What stirred my attention is the hatred that prevailed amid political actors that hit its utmost.
It is satisfactory to quote Jane Luc Mélenchon leader of the "France Unbowed" Party following declaring results of the second round of the presidential elections.
Melenchon came third in the first round and he commented on the presidential elections by saying that the French people chose to put their future at hands of Macron.
He considered Macron's victory good news for the unity of the country but he depicted Macron as the worst president elected during the French Fifth Republic.
President Macron will find out that he will be enforced to deal with the results of the upcoming legislative elections because the Prime Minister will be picked in light of their results.
Also, political coalitions will be enclosed in an arena controlled by fear of the future, especially during the first Macron presidential term witness the storm of " Yellow Vests" protests, the United Kingdom walking out of the European Union (Brexit), repercussions of Corona pandemic.
Before the conclusion of the first Macron presidential term, the Russian-Ukrainian war broke out. Macron led France and the EU, as he is rotative of the European bloc, to confrontation with Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
Macron is weeks away from the legislative elections when he is going to face the major challenge to get a satisfying parliamentarian majority enabled him to avoid entering complicated coalitions that may thwart the legislative activities and then hinder reforms suggested by him.
The legislative elections always result in unexpected outcomes because his arch-rival Le Pen considered the results of the presidential elections as "resounding victory" as an expression of the French wish to establish a strong and anti-Macron power.
Le Pen announced that the great battle for legislative elections has just started.
The result achieved by the far-right over the second round of presidential elections revealed that this party had a big chance to win or to get a great portion of votes in the legislative elections.
Le Pen will do her best to prevent Macron from forging a parliamentarian majority, especially if forms a coalition with Éric Zemmour،, Chief of Reconqute (Reconquest) Party, and Nicolas Dupont Aignan, leader of France Arise (Debout la France) party.
We shouldn't forget that Jane Luc Melenchon, a candidate of the far-left for the first round of the presidential elections looks forward to becoming the head of the next government by harvesting a large number of possible seats in the legislative elections.
Observers see that is not an excluded matter due to the results of the first round along with a possible coalition of the leftist parties that have grassroots voters.
It is important to say that President Macron is expected to face hard choices so he is committed to renewing his style to become president of all and to create confidence inside the country as he pledged to his fans near Eiffel Tower in Paris following the announcement of the results of the second round.
He said that the new phase is not a conclusion to five years ended but it will be a collective invention based on new bases during five better years to come in serving the country and youth.
