The presidential campaign is coming to an end with the re-election of Emmanuel Macron as head of the Élysée on Sunday evening.
The legislative battle is now on.
Nevertheless, just before returning to the campaign, steps must be taken in order to officially record the election of the president.
And now ?
For the second time, Emmanuel Macron was elected President of the Republic with 58% of the vote.
