French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday (April 24, 2022) warned voters about the importance of voting when he was running for re-election against deputy Marine Le Pen from the National Grouping Party.

,The next day he woke up with a hangover“, the French president told the television channel bfm tv This Friday (22.April).
Macron also compared the situation to the Brexit referendum, when a high voter turnout supported voters who chose to leave the United Kingdom (EU) in 2016 as the United Kingdom.

Marine Le Pen is the daughter of right-wing politician Jean-Marie Le Pen, who was the runner-up in the 2002 elections. On that occasion, he was defeated by then-president Jacques Chirac, from 82.2% to 17.8%.
In June 2018, the candidate changed the name of his father’s party to Frente Nacional (National Front).national front) for the national group (National Assembly) in an effort to break away from the party’s racist and xenophobic history, while it was led by 93-year-old Jean-Marie Le Pen, who left the party’s presidency in 2011.
