France’s Macron beats Le Pen to win second term —pollsters’ projections
His supporters erupted with joy as the results appeared on a giant screen at the Champ de Mars park by the Eiffel tower.
"No one in France will be left by the wayside," he said in a message that had already been spread by senior ministers doing the rounds on French TV stations. "There will be continuity in government policy because the president has been reelected," Health Minister Olivier Veran said. "But we have also heard the French people's message."
Outside France, Macron's victory was hailed as a reprieve for mainstream politics rocked in recent years by Britain's exit from the European Union, the 2016 election of Donald Trump and the rise of a new generation of nationalist leaders.
