he's the choice of a country desperate
for change a politician who's neither
left nor right part of the French
establishment yet never before elected a
fresh face who served in the outgoing
government so who is in manual Macomb to
his supporters he's there in manual
their political Messiah a provincial boy
from outside the establishment who
worked his way to power he's a new man
to politics
he's trying to find new solutions he
really is a new faith is our hope but he
went to France his most prestigious
schools met its most powerful people and
made millions in an investment bank a
former colleague says macrons rise is
partly down to charm but that at heart
he's a secretive man he's able to tell
people what they really want to hear so
very seduces man and he managed to then
have to agree with nearly anyone so
that's that's a that's a talent Macross
wife Brigitte told one journalist that
her husband never let people close the
couple met when she taught him drama at
school their unusual love affair a sign
says one of macarons old friends of his
determination self-belief and drive I
think the only person will really know
him inside deeply is Brigitte you have
to imagine he seduced her he convinced
her to marry him you Kevin is family
just imagine it's real it's not it's not
a small thing
France is not this time opted for the
political extremes the far-right
rejected in favor of a liberal newcomer
with his own promise of change Emanuel
Mackel has vowed to unite two divided in
Sicily
in front but if critics say he's just
the old wine in a shiny new bottle and
the price of failure could be high
some say Emmanuel macron has won the
presidency by being all things to all
people but he won't be able to govern
that way he has five years to soul
france's problems or risk it choosing
more radical change next time
