French President Emmanuel Macron sought to unite a deeply divided nation Monday after winning re-election in a battle against rival Marine Le Pen that saw the far right come its closest yet to taking power.

PARIS, France –

The president already has a daunting in-tray, ranging from preparing for parliamentary elections as soon as June to implementing explosive pension reform plans and dealing with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.Addressing supporters in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower late Sunday, Macron vowed to heal rifts in a deeply divided country.“An answer must be found to the anger and disagreements that led many of our compatriots to vote for the extreme right.

“Macron’s biggest challenge will be to create a sense of cohesion in an extremely fragmented country,” said Tara Varma, senior policy fellow and head of the Paris office of the European Council on Foreign Relations.French daily Le Monde called Macron’s win “an evening of victory without a triumph”, while left-leaning Liberation called it “a victory without the glory”.

Macron’s re-election sparked relief across Europe where he has been seen as a guarantor of continuity.
