of his predecessor, you know, also a lot the officials president who preceded him, but voters here, the friend in general expect him to have understood the message that yes, they are giving him another 5 years and they're trusting him to leave the country again. and obviously they also don't want to their prefer him to and nationalists and extremist president, but they also expect him to, you know, take some measures to satisfy a left wing voters to talk to them in an honor on an equal footing. really. they want him to take some ecological measures. they want him to take some social measures and that is really what he will need to do if he wants to do to win the french voters, french populations heights over in the coming 5 years. and he wants to see if he wants to prevent or will append the far right from rising further because she said earlier in her speech that she at what try to convince all those that are against my cause. so if he doesn't want the next presidential election, if it were a gun,

him and pen, maybe in 5 years to want to, to be, to turn out to be a vote against my co everything against my core. and that not something like it like now you know everything against everything but my really pen, he really needs to do the legwork now in the coming 5 years and in his speech and i that's the start. obviously, we are waiting for our microphone to speak in a moment to let stand by for that i'm but in the meantime we can see life pictures of people celebrating in paris outside of the eiffel tower. there are many holding french and european union flags, which is clearly a testament to the feelings in the country and where they'd like to see the future of france going. lisa, if you're still there, let's talk about some of the policies that many of the french rogers are looking to see to be continued or to be implemented going forward.

well, somebody just from the center right, obviously want him to continue his market orientated or from, you know, the, the idea to increase the pension age to 65 instead of the current 62. that was actually one of the most important measures for my call in the election. combine obviously that scaring of left wing voters, but it's pleasing right wing or, you know, send to right, voters. he said he would be the country that the president to get the country back on track to increase it and bring down an employment to make sure that everybody can make ends meet. on the one hand, he would continue these market orientated reforms, but he will also do some carry out some other reforms you know, to improve the me bills, it's spending power. that's what he has been debating about with marina penn. in the tv debate ahead of the 2nd round of fighting,

and he promised that he would also be the candidate of increase spending power. so we could get some measures from him to help people make ends meet. and i think he's about to speak a noun

ah ah, in stadium, and speak to the people of france. he will be the 1st president to be elected for a 2nd time in 20 years. now gave him another 5 years in office to address a range of key policies that he'd promised for the country. it was quite a contentious race that he was facing with the far right challenge in marine the

pen. and that re match from 2017 presidential election and it was for the 1st time, you know, opinion polls did suggest that the rest, the race was neck and neck. but the biggest issue was the large number of voters that were expected to cost like that for not versus old and max. and i just remind us yeah, yeah, no, because i think it's significant how he's coming into the sean mouse was about to speak. last time 5 years ago. he was all alone. and he came in and i think he's trying to make an effort here to show that he, he's not alone. you know, he's, he's reaching out. so he seems like he has supporters. those are his supporters, young people walking by then to the tune of ode to joy by beauty fun beetle, which is also the anthem of europe. so how he's coming in here with the eiffel tower. the back again shows he's just, he's just the master for those symbolic moments. and definitely one of those moments that will go down the, in history for him, at least,

and on. and if you look at who's with him, you know, it's, it's probably it's, it's supposed to symbolize the future, the young people, the future of a diverse country in france, which puts it sharply apart from what i mean. the pen always wanted. he said, we need to make sure that the french have always 1st call it anything housing, for example, or jobs or something. so sort of a closed society and my calls stands for a, for an open society for an open france. and i think he's trying to bring that across through this through this entrance, which at 1st it's not as, as pompous word or big as it was 5 years ago. it's more lo t also, i think the version of old to joys a different one. this one, loki, but it's still highly symbolic. you think this is part of the optics here to show that that shine, that he full amount of the people who still that won't be. i think this a 1st, like i said last time he was alone. maybe he, for the 1st time he's really trying,

trying to show that just an imagined attention up there in the blue, the crowd and the applause of the people in the belief and joy i really liked. and with that, twitter and kind of you can kind of feel the sigh of those that are in favor of the european as we know what the size of the leaf going all across all across europe with the re election every monday, my talk and where you don't know that those were the pictures that people were expecting. my call being there, shaking hands. i assume these are not, you know, your regular folks that you see right there as well. we also party establishment, but that's what people want to see him going down in the trenches, shaking hands, talking to the people, smiling and not being aloof in his presidential house. ah,

let's see what, what do you anticipating that milan is like he to say in his speech with his entrance so far as any indication he will, he will probably stress that he's ready to take that chance. he was given by the french people for the next 5 years and to correct some of the mistakes, to build a country for the youth, to give them a perspective, to keep friends open as an open society. within multinational institutions like the european union, or like the united nations, now significant, is that to see all this does make him the 1st president to be elected for a 2nd time in 20 years and find it to be fairly go. i mean, to be fair, a blessed one who got re elected it was jack sherlock. and so he was in power 20 years ago already. but the, technically, that's absolutely true. you know that before monday mccoy also

a long and for that you hadn't close up, was even they both just sort of sort of one term. so technically that's true. but of course, structured actually was in power very, very long times. i see from 1995 to 2007 or something like that. but now khan is also the youngest. he's the youngest. yep. and that probably still plays a role. you know, i can imagine some of those french people that you see, they're being proud of having someone like him as their president. just like you have a lot of people who are not proud of him to be the president and others. again, there's all kinds of people in france, some very strong in favor of my home, and you see those here on those features that we're seeing right now from the show on the north, which is that big field right outside of the the eiffel tower. and then of course, especially outside paris, paris and outside the big cities, you know, a lot of people feel like they're not, they're not doing politics that will help them. give them a better perspective. them more money in their pocket. i have them being able to

pay for gas, energy and, and housing and all those things. i expect him to say something about that too, by the way, you know what, that's very typical of the mike for campaign. also, 5 years ago, those you flags you see right there next to the of the french flag. that's a statement. i mean, a lot, a lot of politicians back in 5 years ago, deliberately did not use you flags because they thought it would hurt them. and so am unaware, like, haunted the exact opposite and gave those people that are in favor of the european as you know it a sort of a sense of pride again, and he hasn't changed that you still see a lot of those you flags. hm .

yeah. at this rate is gonna take him a while to put the podium all way to the top. i can just joining us here on dw news . we got special coverage on francis presidential election. people have spoken in manual crohn has been elected as a president of france for a 2nd time. this will now give him another 5 years in office max, remind us of the policies that he had in place during the campaign that he was looking to deliver. well, my call is someone who knows that he needs to attack some of the fundamental problems that french, the french system itself has a lot of dep, lots of pipe fairly high taxes for the social security system and stuff. a lot of the money of the budget, especially because people go into retirement. 62 years old, that something that is not sustainable. and he knows it for that. and he's trying

to address for the you have it in my phone is on the podium there outside his party headquarters at the eiffel tower. just about to speak. messy. thank you. miss. usually. thank you, dear friends, jekyll, brother, dear fellow citizens, to see about it here in paris. it back to us and everywhere. it was an example grandmother committed overseas and abroad. we're going to change. messy. first of all, thank you. and

the new after 5 years did assume a happy and difficult transformation of except mccray says, you won't get hold of it for day. on april 21st, 2022 and a majority of a few shows to trust me. preside or republic, father coming 5 years. i love the and also i would like the hang all. oh, of volunteers. all of the helpers. the company, you all are a companion who will accompany us from the beginning and who have made the

a stronger your article, morgan end through investments, and we'll do the change to continue more concrete progress for everybody, liberating creativity and innovation in our country and made france and great ecological nature. just so see i also know good know to look over the lead is many of our citizens no voted for me not because they wanted to support my idea, but in order to stop at the far right in end, i want to thank them it and tell them that i know all of this vote is an obligation for me from the coming years that i saw i carry their sense of

duty with their attachment to the republic. and the reason of the differences that were expressed in the last week the bosses and also things. but it was about all our citizens who owned a silence means that they refused to choose. and we also need to take that into account. that was all fun and i also think with all those who voted for mrs. la penn, i know they're disappointed to night. please don't bully them from the beginning. i asked, you know, to or with boston

because there's a long starting from now. look, gandhi, don't, i am not the candidate of a party any more, but the president of all of local but, and i know that for many of our fellow citizens, yours was really, would chose the far right today is a go dis, agreement and disgruntlement that made them vote for them, they also need an answer and it's going to be my duty to give it to them go soon because 2 days in election with a blade, just as if you're thinking about all difficulties and to reply efficiently to the

disgruntlement that was expressed fellow citizens, dear friends, with every fiddle swash a day, man, if you chose a young man as it project them as ambitious for our country's independence or europe, a republican project with its value, her social project, that ecological sled is based on work. this young creation us your little 3rd to deliberate, aro, academic and business strengths and forces. and this project is our project. so she does a lot and i want to the carrier to with strings for the coming years. and i also want to carry the divisions that were expressed and the differences

and every day make sure that everybody else respected and to continue to work for a fair play phone equal society equal for women and men and also. and in order, in order to do that, we need to be demanding and ambitious. we have so much to do on the law and the war in ukraine. it reminds us that we are living in tragic times. and france needs to show us to swap that the choices were clear, it with the thought, and we have to build ourselves ranks in all reels and we are going to do it

for low humans and my friends, we will also need to be respectful. it be the thought to do because our own country has so many divisions and down for the local for we need to be strong. min no, so highly see bad, although nobody is going to be left out alone will be on our sandlin again though we are going to have to work a g that is going to make our lives in front of the earth and helps as master the challenges to come and the following years, because they are not going to be quietly, has all the story, but they're going to be historic years old and they, together. we are going to create for the generations.

oh, each one of us has to come. it struggle because each one of us will remain counts more. so then do himself or herself did book. and this makes the french say so strong gruesome and i love the strength so them equally so intensely. and that's why i am so proud to one sort serve mean long live the we personally, and long live fine for

you. does this name to the new president of france in my name or crohn, just delivered his victory speech after his election there against foreign leader, his talent marine the pen. and his message was very much one of unity and inclusivity. let's get more on this with deed please. the st. louis is there to the eiffel tower, where everything is taking place. tell us more about what he had to say in his speech, lisa, ah, well, you know, i think we can say after the speech that he really got the message of the voters. he said, i hear your anger and i need to address that in the coming 5 years. i need to do what i can to bring this country back together. and he was even talking about the style, you know, his signature mark is really that he had a different style,

very destructive side, you know, breaking up old structures, you know, just going it alone. and he said, i hear you. i understand your fear and your anger, and we need to work together. we need to do this side by side. it really seems to be a moment where he has taken he's. he's now is conscious that he needs to change something if he wants to win people he over in france, i don't, you don't. this is his own supporters, but also the supporters of other people, you know, even even addressed the supporters of marina penn saying, you know, i understand that you are very good for her, but i need to do my best to convince you not to vote for her again, that was his message. he also was very clear about the next 5 years and what the people of france would be looking towards. and it really was about the service for the youth. what, what, what did he mean by that?

well, he wants to continue his reforms, obviously his economic reforms, but he also wants to, you know, take france for work, he wants to do things together with the people not come across as someone who is arrogant, who's being seen as arrogant by many people here in the country and, you know, i think he knows that he needs to get cracking on that. he needs to start saying that he can change and that it's maybe the 1st step towards that and just to speak to us about what the energy was like. there are to, he delivered his speech well, even leading up to speech actually, you know, he was walking through the crowd, he was shaking hands. this is what he's really good at it. the contact with the people, if he goes and meets them over the past 5 years, he's been out there numerous times, talked to french people for hours and hours. and you know, really confronted himself with people who are,

who don't agree with him and might call, you know, this isn't something that he does that his opponent, marina pan, didn't do over the past 2 weeks. and obviously when he then went on to the stage and delivered his speech in a very humble way, i really almost say people are cheering when he was mentioning marilla pen sport as they were doing. and he said no, don't do that. we need to respect everybody, we need to bring everybody in. and so there was a lot of enthusiasm here when he was speaking, obviously you think anything was missing in that speech that the people are like to hear? well, you know, i think they might have wanted, right. have her wanted to hear more about concrete things that he would do. you know what might be the 1st thing that he could tackle. he was talking about, you know, it galaxy equality between women and men. that is certainly something that people want him to address. and obviously the next couple of weeks and months will show

what exactly he will put on the table. one must say, when you look at his election manifesto, it's not as detail as other people's manifesto that was also an indication that from the very beginning he seemed to be thinking that this election wasn't, was a done deal. and only after the 1st round of 8, and you've only understood that he needed to do the leg work and show people that he was out there. but what, what exactly, he will do over the coming 5 years. that remains to be seen. we know that his, he is, you know, he will carry out more market oriented reforms that he is in favor of more nuclear energy, but also in favor of more, you know, renewable energy. and that is certainly something that will put into place. he also needs to dress up as the, the needs of young people. young people have been complaining about the fact that they don't feel really taken away by his project. and what he has been doing over the past 5 years. he was suddenly attack of that as soon as possible. his lois speaking to us, live at the eiffel tower in paris. thank you so much. well,

marine le pen conceded defeat, but played down her loss. she says france has demonstrated. it's still once a counterweight to ma crohn, more than ever if only forsake, we've got to want to defend the french citizens optimal. and i have no hard feelings to day. you walk in what we have been buried a 1000000 times already despite you and our adversaries. hold button to make a decision here. this been all, but still i feel hope that was did you want to do it? of course i got this result of it gives me some kind of hope and you 2 witnesses are there to the french, a citizen interviewed or that you don't trust them, their government, and those are feelings that a share, swallow, swear to night. oh, how to read them annual max. the french voters showed that they want a power that alcohols us. president, man quangersha. let's get the latest from the pens. party headquarters was dw

barbara vsl. what's been the reaction to what the pen has had to say? of course the marine, the pen says support is where really is said and, and they were disappointed when the results came through tonight and the party here at her campaign event is winding down. people are now said to partner drinking the bar and had to sort of overcome their disappointment because they had really tried to believe in, in her victory. there was this idea that she had the momentum on her side and they had to sort of concede in the end that again for the 3rd time when she was trying or run it at the l is a palace. as things go away, even though it was a little 40 percent, she had the best result ever. however,

listening to the speech of him on really muck wrong because he was really including for supporters and her friends and saying, you know, i need to talk to, to the, we need to talk to these people. we need to figure out what their problems are. we need to sort of be respectful towards them. he knows that he would have a hard time in the next 5 years to govern, to govern against against to the supporters of marine, dependent on the non us did not. and so he acknowledged their existence. it's going to be very difficult to bridge the divide because the difference between differences between those 2 camps are enormous. the difference between this party here and amanda in the cross party is the norm, is it ideologically? it is hard to see how it could possibly be bridge. it's.
