The re -election of the outgoing president, Sunday April 24, with 58.2 % of the votes against Marine Le Pen, owes less to the promises launched in 2017 than a search for stability and a rejection of the extreme right.

The enthusiasm of the public was not already very bright. But, there, Emmanuel Macron has just thrown a cold. “I will admit something to you: I have no desire to do five more years,” said the head of state to his supporters, gathered under the sun of Marseille, Saturday April 16, with the Old Port in background. How ? Would the candidate are preparing to give up, only eight days from the second round of the presidential election? No. He simply missed his sleeve effect.
“I don’t want to do them more: I want to completely refound, I want to be five years of complete renewal, he explains. What is played on April 24, what will be played behind should Not to be a renewal, a continuation, but a reinvention, a new ambition. “” And one! And two! And five more years! “, Lay some stun to warm the heart.
The slogan, which La République en Marche (LRM) went to seek in the United States -“Four More Years!”, Chant the supports of the American presidents -, annoys the Elysée. He is “installed”, curator. He does not stick to the story of a man who presents himself, despite his ten years at the top of the State – as a collaborator of François Hollande, Minister of the Economy, then President of the Republic -, as an adversary of the “system” .
However, the re-election of Emmanuel Macron, Sunday April 24, with 58.2 % of the votes against Marine Le Pen, does not owe much to the promises of “revolution” launched in 2017, long-lived. This victory – a first for an outgoing president, outside the period of cohabitation, from Charles de Gaulle – is rather a search for status quo.
capacity to collect crises
To understand the nature of a political character, it is better to refer to what his voters or his supporters say.

A few days later, ex-Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin takes up the same arguments, and adds that “the particularly threatening international situation”, with the war in Ukraine, imposes stability. Clearly, to trust a solid manager. Contrary to what he hoped, Emmanuel Macron has marked the spirits by his ability to collect crises more than to reform the country.
