The candidate of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, having come in second position with 23.6% of the vote, the ecologist calls on his voters "
to block the far right by depositing in the ballot box an Emmanuel Macron ballot on 24 next April
", hoping "
that no one minimizes the fundamental threat that the extreme right poses to democracy, civil peace, ecology and to the values of our Republic
".
However, he addresses Emmanuel Macron by affirming that this vote "
does not constitute a guarantee for his responsibility in the fracturing of the country through climate inaction, social denial, conformity and democratic contempt
".
Yannick Jadot achieves a higher score than the last environmental candidate, Éva Joly, who obtained only 2.31% of the votes in 2012. By failing to obtain 5% of the votes cast, Yannick Jadot is not eligible for reimbursement up to 8 million euros of his campaign costs.

Ecology needs your financial support this evening to continue its essential fights
", he said, inviting his supporters to make an online donation.
