Macron Reelected

Exit polling in France has a reputation of being quite accurate. Politico.eu reported that Macron has won the presidential runoff election held today, with the margin being roughly 58 to 42.

The result this time is narrower than in 2017, when Macron defeated Le Pen with 66 percent of the vote.

France votes in a parliamentary election in June and Macron will also have to secure a majority in the National Assembly if he wants to push through his reforms.

Both NATO and the EU will be happy at this outcome, a victory for globalism. French presidents serve a 5 year term.
