The result was not unexpected. The current President Chirac defeated Le Pen, the only opponent, with more than 80% of the vote.

Numerous hanging hearts returned to their normal position in the chest. Thank God, France - the symbol of democracy and republicanism, did not fall into the clutches of extreme right-wing forces.
