Follow live the evolution of the estimates then the results communicated by the Ministry of the Interior on the 2nd round of the 2022 presidential election between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen thanks to our graph below:
The results of the presidential election are traditionally published in three stages. First, solid estimates, built by polling institutes on the basis of the first counts, are published at 8 p.m. They are then updated several times in the evening. Then come the official results from the Ministry of the Interior, which are only partial on the evening of the ballot. Once all the results of all the polling stations have been returned, a final result is communicated overnight or even on Monday morning. It is then validated during the week by the Constitutional Council.
Marine Le Pen has promised to “put France back in order by ensuring the protection of the French”. Several axes were put forward in his program during the campaign such as a “progressive system” allowing retirement from the age of 60, a triptych “protect, plan, transmit”, the superiority of constitutional law over European law to “restore the EU in its place”. She also intends to stop immigration, fight Islamism, in particular with the banning of the veil in public space, a hotly debated subject during the interval between the two rounds and to raise purchasing power, with the aim of “making their money” and “their country” to the French.
