Athletistic collected a press review – it turned out that not only Ukrainians experienced relief.
Support for Ukraine for another five years
Financial Times, UK
France’s status as a key element of the EU and the strongest NATO member in its support of Ukraine has been secured for another five years.
But at home in France, however, an electoral victory that abroad can be seen overwhelming – Macron defeated Le Pen with 58.5 percent of the vote – obscures a reality where nationalist, eurosceptic, anti -immigration rightmost opponent. now. than at any time since the end of World War II.
French society remains deeply divided. The elections showed the validity of the statements of both Macron and Le Pen that the confrontation between right and left was gone. It has been replaced by a civilizational rivalry between nationalists and populists on the one hand and globalists and liberals on the other.
Attacks on nationalist forces in Europe
Washington Post, USA
Macron’s re-election was a victory for the EU and a setback for those who wanted to weaken or divide it.
The defeat of the far-right leader Marine Le Pen dealt a major blow to nationalist forces in Europe that aimed to limit immigration and marginalize migrants, especially Muslims. This is a victory for democracy as a whole.
However, the current gap between Macron and Le Pen has become smaller than in 2017 … Exit polls have shown that his position is especially strong among workers …
The economic uprising, fueled by anger at social change, weakened what France called the “republican bloc” – an alliance in support of a tolerant and democratic republic.
The best news in a long time
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany
And also for Germany, Macron’s success in these dark times is the best news in a long time. If Le Pen became president, fruitful cooperation in Europe would be impossible, and more on the front against his patron and long -term role model Vladimir Putin.
Europe needs French leadership
Denmark
Great work awaits him. As the German government loses faith, it becomes clear that the EU desperately needs Emmanuel Macron to rally the ranks against Russia. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz clearly could not cope with the task.
In addition, France’s leadership is also required from the point of view of developing a pan-European defense dimension, of which, hopefully, Denmark will also be part …
This year’s presidential election is not only an event with a happy outcome, but also a wake-up call-in socio-political and democratic terms.
The EU and NATO felt comfort from the heart
Times, Britain
Europe, NATO and the French establishment felt comfort from the heart. The success of Marine Le Pen will be disastrous for the combined efforts of the Western Alliance to show solidarity. [с Украиной]. It will discuss France’s commitment to the EU.
Le Pen dismissed his threat to leave the European Union, but his immigration proposals, with French exceptionalism, would make him a very difficult partner for other EU leaders and for any American president.
It will be difficult for French diplomats, business leaders and officials to adapt to his nationalist, populist and isolationist policies.
The ordinary French are worried about their own wallet
List of Jutarnji, Croatia
We and the rest of Europe must not be mistaken: in the course of voting, the French, of course, took into account the fact that a victory over Le Pen would mean at least a transition from the EU, which, in good weather and in bad weather, mainly relying on the Paris axis -Berlin.
Citizens understood that his victory could result in the demise of the EU and the sliding of Europe into nationalist conflicts that have already led to two world wars and will soon ignite in the third phase-in Ukraine.
But all this is not a decisive factor in the eyes of French voters … For them, the question of which government will not suffer during the current economic crisis has become even more important … Ordinary citizens are primarily concerned about whether inflation will eat away at their savings, salaries, pensions or social benefits.
