France is holding its second decisive round of presidential elections. At noon, a little more than a quarter of the citizens had voted, a turnout lower than at the same time five years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

During the final round of the presidential election in France, by noon a quarter of the French registered voters. The French Interior Ministry said turnout at 12 noon was 26.41%. This figure is slightly higher than the 25.48% recorded at the same time during the first ballot two weeks ago. However, she dropped out of the presidential election five years ago.<\/p>\n

The candidates running are Liberal Conservative Emmanuel Macron and far-right candidate Marine Le Pen. In the 2017 election, when Macroni and Le Pen also faced off in the second round, more than 28% of voters had cast their ballots by noon.<\/p>\n

Prior to the second ballot, a fairly low turnout was expected, as in the first round.<\/p>\n

Macroni and Le Pen voted<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both candidates have already cast their ballots. Macroni voted with his wife Brigitte at noon in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, in northern France. Le Penny voted this morning in H\u00e9nin-Beaumont, near Lille, in northern France.<\/p>\n

Recent polls have put Macron ahead, at 55 to 56.5 percent. But a victory of his opponent is not ruled out. From time to time, in the presidential run-off in France, the candidate who came second in the first round also won.<\/p>\n

Call to vote for Macron<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to Le Pen-irt’s often very right-wing demands, many parties, eliminated candidates and social groups have called this time for a vote for Macron. If he wins, he will be the first French president in 20 years to win a second term.<\/p>\n

But the result will also depend on the number of people who will vote. According to the polls, a record number of voters could vote with white paper or not go to the polls at all. Both candidates tried to get the 7.7 million votes of left-wing candidate Jean-Luc M\u00e9lenchon, who did not qualify for the second round. Melenchoni urged not to elect Le Pen, but did not call for Macroni to be elected.<\/p>\n

Both Macroni and Le Pen have tried to attract voters to Jean-Luc M\u00e9lenchon’s camp. For this, Macroni once again stressed the topic of climate protection.<\/p>\n

Attention also in Berlin and Brussels<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brussels and Berlin are also watching the election closely. Unlike the pro-European Macroni, Le Pen wants to distance himself from Germany and radically change the European Union.<\/p>\n

The French president is elected for five years. He exerts a decisive influence on the politics of the country and plays a more important role than the head of government he has appointed.<\/p>\n

In France, polling stations are open until 19:00 and in some places until 20:00. Due to the time difference, some French territories abroad, such as the Caribbean, voted on Saturday.\/DW<\/p>\n
