Republican candidate Valérie Pécresse announced on Sunday that she bears responsibility for the loss, announcing her support for President Emmanuel Macron in the second round against the far-right Le Pen.

Socialist candidate Anne Hidalgo also called on the French people to vote for Macron in the second round of the presidential elections, as did Communist Party candidate Fabien Roussel, Green Party candidate Yannick Jadot, and La France Insoumise candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon.

Melenchon, who came in third with 21.7% of the vote, called on his supporters to continue their work, even if it is difficult, pleading with them not to give even one vote for Marine Le Pen.

Le Pen: To protect France against immigration

Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen called on all those who oppose Macron to vote against him.

Le Pen said that if she wins the second round, she will be a President for all French, noting that the upcoming vote will be one between two choices, and two projects.

She pointed out that she will make France a "power for peace" and will guarantee the sovereignty of the French people and protect France against immigration.
