It was foreseeable: the polls indicated between 24 and 25%, and you could feel that France was divided between voting against Le Pen or not voting at all. I mean, according to a poll post-election, 43% voted for Macron to block Le Pen. They do not adhere to his project. It's good news in the sense that we do not have Le Pen. Project-wise, it all depends where you stands. I believe there are some good ideas in his projects, as there are bad ones. I didn't vote for him in the first round but did in the second. That's why the legislative election that will take place in a month will be really important to see if there is going to be any change. Fun tidbits about Macron : - he's 39 years old (youngest of the G20) ; - was unknown three years ago ; - was an investment banker at Rothschild for 2 years ; - married his teacher who is 25 years older than him.
