Women Role in France Presidential Elections
The recent presidential elections were held in two rounds on April 10 and April 24 of 2022. Among the 12 electoral nominees were four women, and in the 2nd round we witnessed the competition between Mr. Macron and Ms. Le Pen. Of the 48.7 million people registering for casting votes, Mr. Macron managed to obtain 58.55% of the votes in the 2nd round. This is while, 60% of the women voted for him. The question here is how come the women community voted fewer to the woman
nominee Ms. Le Pen?
But more surprising than all, Ms. Le Pen, as the second candidate of the elections and main rival of Macron, who made it to the second round, gave no feminist promises and did not tie her election to the women rights. She, in her party campaign (National Front), did not follow feminist movements, and in her electoral campaign, had bradly promised that she would support combat against sexual violence and violence perpetrated by foreigners (meaning immigrants) against the victims, if elected. About the women and girls of her country, she declared that their security for safe traffic and how to dress must be protected at any hour of the night.
But Mr. Macron, who was president during his first term, tried to appoint an equal number of men and women to ministries, and even his efforts led him to appointing 14 men and 17 women among his ministers and advisors, something unprecedented in the previous terms and years.
