Emmanuel Macron Is Reelected , As France’s President.
CNBC reports that on April 24, Macron secured 58.54% of the country's vote to remain president of France.
Far-right contender Marine Le Pen
garnered 41.46% of the vote.
Le Pen has seemingly made headway for her party compared to the 2017 election in which Macron won 66.1% of the vote compared to Le Pen's 33.9%.
Political analysts think this may
indicate trouble for Macron in the future.
The actual closeness, relative closeness of the vote and the fact that [Marine] Le Pen got over 40%, I think that’s a damning indictment on the state of French politics and perhaps actually
the state of inequality and living
standards across Europe, Julian Howard, head of multi-asset solutions at asset management
