ANTI-RACISM DEMONSTRATION IN PARIS AGAINST LE PEN|不滿勒朋入決選 法左派示威爆警民衝突

After results of the first round of France's presidential election were announced, left-wing supporters congregated in the Place de la Bastille in a demonstration against far-right candidate Marine Le Pen, resulting in clashes with riot police. Meanwhile, two of the losing candidates have called on their supporters to vote for Emmanuel Macron in the second round. As the election results became clear around 8 PM local time, left-wing supporters who had congregated at the Place de la Bastille, where the French Revolution broke out in 1789, grew restless and eventually violent. The demonstrators took out their frustration on the riot police, resulting in physical altercations. Some threw firecrackers and bottles. ==DEMONSTRATOR== I don't want to leave behind a world of extremism to my children. ==VOTER== I think they'll avoid Le Pen. They don't want her to be president. Losing candidates Benoît Hamon of the Socialist Party and François Fillon of the Republicans both said in their concession speeches that they will support centrist newcomer Emmanuel Macron. Far-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon has noT said who he will support. ==BENOÎT HAMON Socialist Party Candidate== There is no other choice but to oppose the far right by voting for Macron. ==FRANÇOIS FILLON Republican Candidate== I will like to ask everyone to oppose the Front Nationale, oppose the far right with their votes and vote for Macron. There were 47 million eligible voters for this election, with turnout reaching 80% as it did in 2012. Far-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon saw a surge in popularity that put him on par with major-party candidate Fillon. The currently ruling Socialist Party only received 6.2% of the vote, a performance on the level of the minor parties. Pre-election polling showed that employment, the economy, anti-terrorism, and security were the most important issues to the French electorate. After a terrorist attack on the French police three days before the vote, 60,000 armed service members and police were mobilized to guard voting places across France. The state of emergency imposed after the attack has not been lifted, making this France's first presidential election to take place under a state of emergency. TRANSLATED BY：JOHN CHEN 法國第一輪投票結果出爐後，無法接受瑪琳勒朋進入第二輪決選的左派政黨支持者，聚集在巴士底廣場爆發警民衝突；而出局的費雍、哈蒙相繼坦承敗選並呼籲支持者接下來把票投給馬克宏。 晚間八點選舉結果大致底定的消息傳出後，大批聚集在1789年法國大革命歷史發源地巴士底廣場的左派陣營支持者，開始傳出騷動，部份暴怒的左派示威者，挑釁警方，也遭警察回推一把，他們不滿第一輪投票結果，把氣都出在維安的鎮暴警察身上，面對警棍、盾牌，硬是向前推擠，還有人丟擲爆竹跟瓶罐。 ==法國民眾 布蘭屈== 我不想把極端的留給我小孩 ==法國民眾 馬卡== 我想他們會避開勒朋 不要她當總統 社會黨總統候選人哈蒙、共和黨總統候選人費雍，在發表敗選感言時表態自己將支持中間派政壇新人馬克宏，而左派陣線總統候選人梅朗雄則未表態。 ==社會黨總統候選人 哈蒙== 沒有其他選擇 但可用選票反對極右派 我會投給馬克宏 ==共和黨總統候選人 費雍== 我在這裡請大家盡全力以選票 反對民族陣線 反對極右派 將票投給馬克宏 這次大選合格選民人數為四千七百萬，投票率和2012年大選一樣達80%，值得一提的是極左派候選人梅朗雄，這次的得票率較上屆大幅攀升，和大黨共和黨的費雍平起平坐，而社會黨的哈蒙得票率卻只有6.2%，萎縮成了小黨候選人的得票率。 選前民調顯示，法國人最關心的問題依序是就業，經濟，反恐與安全。受到投票前三天發生的伊斯蘭國成員襲警恐怖攻擊，當局出動了六萬名軍警在全國六萬五千個投票所維安，由於目前法國還處於緊急狀態，這也是法國選民史上頭一遭在緊急狀態下進行大選投票。 記者 黃韻玲 報導
