Macron rejoiced over the increase in voter turnout during the EU elections, and said that they are facing “a new stage of the European adventure,” as there is “no majority with two parties” for the first time in the European Parliament.

The French President also addressed the victory of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party at the European elections, and said that extremes are rising "everywhere" due to “fears, lies, the help of foreign powers who want to destroy the European project and our incapacity in bringing an efficient answer to what our fellow citizens are asking.”
