00:00I think nobody can celebrate tonight because we are back to a situation that we knew too well in
00:05France. Here it is not the columnist but the historian that speaks. It's the situation of
00:10the Fourth Republic with the three blocs that were opposed together and with no one being able to
00:16lead a proper policy for the country because what we are going to see in the next month is an
00:23unconferable France. So there is no victory for anybody tonight to my mind. But I would say that
00:30Macron is not the loser that we expected and in a way he has to be rather satisfied by the
00:37result tonight because it's not a secret. He is a very unpopular figure among everybody.
00:45I remember that two weeks ago I was on a radio set for a British channel and I was
00:51facing a leftist journalist. I'm working for a conservative magazine and we were both saying
00:56well we agree about almost nothing but we agree on one point Macron is a disaster and tonight
01:05Macron did pretty well I think. So if there is a well someone who can say there is a kind of victory
01:12it's Macron.
