Sputnik comes live from Paris, where protesters have gathered for a rally after the presidential election runoff which took place earlier in the day.
Protesters have been active across France in recent weeks, with participants gathering for regular weekly rallies to protest "Neither Macron nor Le Pen" during the presidential elections and to express their dissatisfaction with the government's policies.
Polling stations were open throughout the day to let citizens choose between the incumbent president Emmanuel Macron and his major rival Marine Le Pen of the right-wing National Rally party. In the first round of the election on 10 April, Macron got 27.8 percent of the vote, and Le Pen managed 23.1 percent.
