Kinja'd!!!

Today, the French people proved once more that they’re not like the others.

Emmanuel Macron is most likely the new “président de la république”.

Kinja'd!!!

They could’ve shoot themselves in the foot, like the British and us ‘muricans did, by falling for far right populism, but they didn’t. They showed the middle finger to autoritarism, like they did in 1789.

I can only hope that one day, the American nation, the American people will be as composed and articulate as the French.

Remains to be seen if Macron’s words can actually be translated into actions though. He talks a good speech but he’s never had to bother himself actually doing anything politically significant up to now.

His actual domestic policies are less relevant to me, an American living in Spain at the moment. The point is that the catastrophe was avoided. If only we were as pragmatic last year...

Total crisis averted for now. Over one third of the vote for that Nazi should be reason for concern, not celebration.

Time will tell how this plays out, just like in the US.

As it stands, today’s election is good for the EU, TBD for France.
