Marine Le Pen made her first statements after the announcement of the exit polls for the French elections.
"After the second round, I want to be the president of all the French. On your vote depends the primacy of the French language and culture, the equality of men and women," said Marine Le Pen."
"I will do everything to make France a force for peace. I will control immigration," the leader of the far-right National Front also said.
Le Pen and Macron will contest the presidency of France in the second round of elections, to be held on April 24.
Those who did not make it to the second round are against voting for Le Pen
Emmanuel Macron takes first place in today's first round of France's presidential election.
The outgoing president, according to estimates by French TV station BFM, has 28.5% of the vote against 24.2% for far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
They are followed with 20.2% by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who is positioned on the radical left, 7.1% by the far-right Eric Jemour and 5.1% by the centre-right Valerie Pécres. The other candidates are below 5%. Overall, the result is considered relatively satisfactory for Macron, less satisfactory for Le Pen, extremely satisfactory for Mélenchon, negative for Eric Jemour and "disastrous" for France's once-traditional parties, namely the Republicans, the Ecologists, the Socialists and the Communists.
Everyone's interest now turns to the messages that the leaders of the parties that do not make it to the second round will want to give. Valerie Pecres[/B] of the Republicans, Anne Indalgo[/B] of the Socialists, Fabienne Roussel[/B] of the Communists and Yannick Jadeau[/B] have in one way or another declared their support for Macron, while Jemour has declared his support for Le Pen. Finally, Melanson in his statements after the first election results implicitly but clearly called on his voters not to vote for Le Pen.
