Two dead in violent protests following Emmanuel Macron French Election victory
Police have opened fire and killed two, as angry protestors take to the streets following the French elections
Violence has broken out in Paris, as police charged protesters that were furious with President Emmanuel Macron’s re-election victory.
Police say they were forced to fire into a car that was charging toward them in the centre of the city.
The vehicle was driving against traffic and sped towards the officers.
French President Emmanuel Macron was celebrating his re-election nearby after defeating his far-right challenger Marine Le Pen.
This means Macron’s centrist government will remain in power for the next five years.
Early projections showed the incumbent President received 58 percent of the vote, while Ms. Le Pen only took out 42 percent.
Le Pen has conceded defeat in the presidential runoff, handing victory to her opponent. She says her unprecedented score in the presidential election represents “a shining victory in itself”.
This makes Macron the first French President to have secured a second term in office in 20 years.
This follows leaders from Germany, Portugal, and Spain urging French voters to re-elect Macron, as war rages on in Ukraine.
Several European leaders and politicians have already congratulated the leader on his re-election victory.
