The abstention rate during the second round of the presidential election, which was held on Sunday April 24, is unprecedented since 1969. Faced with these results, the Head of State promises a new, more collective method of governance.
The ceremony for Emmanuel Macron’s victory in the second round of the presidential election, on the evening of Sunday April 24, was sober. It was the watchword of the Élysée. “Number of compatriots voted [dimanche 24 avril] for me not to support the ideas I hold, but to block those of the extreme right“said Emmanuel Macron during this ceremony.
A clear re-election, but without real momentum: this is the whole paradox of this second mandate. Opinion research shows that 42% votes for Emmanuel Macron are blocking votes for Marine Le Pen. For Brice Teinturier, deputy CEO of Ipsos, the president will have to give guarantees to his voters if he wants to have a majority at the end of the legislative elections. On the evening of April 24, Emmanuel Macron in any case wanted to show a change of attitude: no more Jupiterian power, and place for a more participative presidency.
