Macron takes office as France’s youngest President



Emmanuel Macron became France's youngest ever president on Sunday, taking over from Socialist Francois Hollande in a solemn ceremony❗

Macron, a 39-year-old centrist, arrived at the Elysee Palace in central Paris in a motorcade and walked down the red carpet under light rain to be greeted by Hollande for his inauguration.

A week after his victory over far-right leader Marine Le Pen in a tumultuous election, Macron will have a private meeting with Hollande at which he will be given the codes to launch France's nuclear weapons


Emmanuel Macron inaugurated as French president

Emmanuel Macron has promised to restore France's global standing, as he was officially inaugurated as the country's youngest president at the age of 39.

The former investment banker, who had never contested an election before and only formed his centrist political movement a year ago, has vowed to shake up the country's political order and reinvigorate its economy.

If he fails, he knows he could wind up like his predecessor, the socialist Francois Hollande, who promised to bring change but ended up being viewed as weak and indecisive, and who leaves office as France's least popular president of modern times.
