Incumbent French President Emmanuel Macron, leading in the second round of elections, has promised to be "a president for all." His words are quoted by BFMTV.

“From now on, I am not a candidate of one camp, but a president for all,” Macron said during a speech on the Champ de Mars, addressing those who did not vote for him.

According to him, "turbulent", but "historical" times await the French.

“You have chosen a humanistic project striving for the independence of our country, a republican project in its values, a social and environmental project - a project based on work and creativity, the liberation of our academic, cultural and entrepreneurial forces,” the HEAD of state noted.

He assured that he would continue to work "in the name of a more just society and equality between women and men."
