美国有线新闻 CNN 马克龙击败勒庞当选法国总统 承诺团结法国

 

First story this Monday, election results from France. The European country went to the polls yesterday and its government confirmed last night that 39-year-old Emmanuel Macron would become the nation's next leader. Early results showed him leading with more than 60 percent of the vote.

He's the youngest person ever elected in France. He was considered a centrist candidate who's socially liberal and he defeated a strongly conservative candidate, 48-year-old Marine¹ Le Pen.

The election was divisive. Neither candidate in yesterday's runoff was from a major party. Analysts² say that shows many French felt the traditional parties had left them behind.

One big difference between the candidates was that Macron, who's never held elective office, strongly supported the European Union. Le Pen wanted France to leave it. That's a major issue for many Europeans, following Britain's vote to leave the union last year. France's challenges include slow economic growth, high unemployment, immigration and terrorism. Following his victory, Macron promised to work toward unity³ in the country.
