Emmanuel Macron wins: World thanks France for not electing a fascist president



France elected 39-year-old Emmanuel Macron as its President on Sunday, bringing a sigh of relief to the world. Macron beat his far-right competitor Marine Le Pen by a whopping two-third majority.
From Donald's Trump win as the president of the United States to the United Kingdom's decision to trigger the Brexit -- the past few months have seen an obvious wave of far-right agendas and leader. So it's no surprise that the world was ecstatic to find out that France had actually gone against the tide.














As has been clear for months now, the fate of the European Union literally rested in the hands of the French election. Amid the Brexit and a wave of far-right populism across Europe, Macron's closest competitor Le Pen had voiced support of a French Brexit -- and the move could have proven to be the "end of the EU".
Some British newspapers acknowledged how the election of pro-EU centrist Macron will be setback for Brexit supporters.
