French Presidential candidate Marine Le Pen had said in a major televised debate that the hijab is “a uniform imposed by Islamists” and has vowed to stamp it out from French society once and for all if she gets elected as President today.

Support grew for Marine Le Pen ahead of what many believed would be a tight race come election night in France.

If she had been elected, she would also offer the French people a referendum on EU membership and will also withdraw France from NATO.

Leader of the French National Rally Party, Marine Le Pen, has declared that she would not oppose a referendum in the country that would give the people the chance to decide if they wished to remain in the EU or not.

However former banker and so-called “Yes man” Emmanuel Macron won the election with 58% of the vote as opposed to Le Pen’s 42%.
