CreditPool photo by Philippe Lopez Congratulations to the people of France for their successful election!!!! Togetherness and cooperation will bring peace and harmony. Within the lifetime of many still living today, Europe was engaged in a World War that destroyed many lives and the existing culture and property of most countries including France. Great Britain was under assault from Germany, and survived with help from the United States and other democracies beyond the borders of Europe. The new Europe, born from the ashes of this despair has offered hope and inclusion for a broadening coalition of democratic states. However this inclusive unity is today threatened by a rebirth of nationalism and anti-immigrant fervor. Regrettably Britain has subcommand to the fear mongering of the right, turning their back on Europe. I congratulate the French people for a resounding rejection of this right wing ideology, and for leading the way to a more peaceful and rewarding future for all of Europe, and the rest of the world.

French election: Macron defeats Le Pen to become president 56 minutes ago from the section Europe • Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron has decisively won the French presidential election, projected results say. • Mr Macron defeated far-right candidate Marine Le Pen by about 65.5% to 34.5% to become, at 39, the country's youngest president, the results show. • Mr Macron will also become the first president from outside the two traditional main parties since the modern republic's foundation in 1958. • He said that a new page was being turned in French history. • "I want it to be a page of hope and renewed trust," he said. • Live updates: France elects Macron • Mr Macron said he had heard "the rage, anxiety and doubt that a lot of you have expressed" and vowed to spend his five years in office "fighting the forces of division that undermine France". • He said he would "guarantee the unity of the nation and... defend and protect Europe." • Mr Macron's supporters gathered in their thousands to celebrate outside the Louvre museum in central Paris and their new president later joined them. • In his speech to the crowd, he said: "Tonight you won, France won. Everyone told us it was impossible, but they don't know France." • But he repeated a number of times that the task facing him and the country was enormous. • He said: "We have the strength, the energy and the will - and we will not give in to fear."
