STORYLINE:
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen conceded defeat in the presidential runoff on Sunday, handing victory to incumbent Emmanuel Macron.
She said her unprecedented score in a presidential election represented a shining victory in itself.
During her campaign, Le Pen pledged to dilute French ties with the 27-nation EU, NATO and Germany, moves that would have shaken Europe’s security architecture as the continent deals with its worst conflict since World War II.
She also spoke out against EU sanctions on Russian energy supplies and faced scrutiny during the campaign over her previous friendliness with the Kremlin.
Le Pen's score this time rewarded her years-long efforts to make her far-right politics more palatable to voters.
Campaigning hard on cost-of-living issues, she made deep inroads among blue-collar voters in disaffected rural communities and in former industrial centers.
