China News Agency, Paris, April 24 (Reporter Li Yang) French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a presidential election victory speech on the evening of the 24th local time, thanking voters for "stopping the far-right", and to his rival, the French far-right party "National". Supporters of the coalition's presidential candidate Marine Le Pen called out, emphasizing that he is "the president of all French".

　　The second round of voting in the 2022 French presidential election ended on the evening of the 24th.

Multiple exit polls showed Macron, who is seeking re-election, winning the second round of voting, beating Marine Le Pen to win the presidency.

On April 24, the majority chose him to continue to lead the country for the next five years.

He is especially grateful to the voters who trusted him.

　　Macron said he knew that many voters voted for him, not to support his policies, but to "stop the far right."

He said he recognized his responsibility to this part of the electorate and thanked them.

He also referred to voters who abstained from voting, saying "their silence" should also be responded to.

　　Macron addressed Le Pen supporters, saying that from now on he is not a candidate representing one camp, but "the president of all French".

He said he knew that many voters chose the far right and that the anger and division behind their choice had to be answered.

　　Macron briefly looked forward to the next five-year term, saying that he will find better governance methods for better five years and provide better services for the country and young people.

　　Marine Le Pen said that night that she had no plans to leave politics and would continue to lead the National League for parliamentary elections in June.

Le Pen has called Macron to concede defeat, French television BFM reported.
