FRENCH PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS - 2nd round - 7 May 2017 - Declaration of the French Communist Party
This evening, the candidate from the National Front was roundly defeated.

The second round of the French presidential election will be a contest between the racist and xenophobic candidate of the far right, Marine Le Pen, and Emmanuel Macron, the candidate selected by the financial world to reinforce the liberal policies afflicting our country for the past 40 years.

Declaration by Pierre Laurent, national secretary of the French Communist Party, following the second round of regional elections
The results of the second round of regional elections were shaped by the increased voter turnout, which was 9% higher than in the first round. Clearly, voters felt that the election of the National Front to positions of presiding over Regional Councils was a serious threat to democracy. They were able to prevent the threat from becoming a reality. The French Communist Party, which called for the defeat of the National Front as early as last ...
