French Election: Macron's Campaign Promises 'Would Be Difficult to Realize'
Emmanuel Macron has marched to victory in the French election, trouncing the far-right's Marine Le Pen. The EU establishment breathes a sigh of relief as the French voters chose a pro-EU, neo-liberal capitalist banker over Le Pen. Absent a left wing choice a huge number of French voters abstained.
