So Macron got 65 percent, this is a clear sign. Guess a lot of people in France are p.. off by the latest hate and racist shouting and recent international conduct, and with Trump and brexit happening. But concerned to see that obviously a lot of Brits regard the term "European" as an abuse.
I just hope Macron delivers and triggers a real change for France, otherwise France and us have LePen in five years. Make no mistake, more than a third of voters have preferred a far-right and racist candidate, commanding a party that more or less openly denies the holocaust, is by definition anti-democratic and anti-european

What is good is that Macron will meet Merkel at eye-level, and is obviously eager to fight, also for a change in the EU. I wish him and France (and all of us in the EU) the very best!

@Ikalugin regarding conspiracy theories, even Trump has accepted the outcome of the french election, probably grinding his teeth. Putin will not be so pleased either i think..
