At many places, the police have also used tear gas to stop the protesters.

After the first round, Macron’s party and the Left Alliance had vowed to stop the right-wing from coming to power at any cost. After which both the parties withdrew their party candidates in front of the winning candidates.

According to the French newspaper Le Monde, a total of 218 candidates withdrew from the race for the second phase. Of these, 130 were from the leftist alliance and 82 were from Macron’s centrist alliance.
