French presidency Emmanuel Macron
Paris - Arab Today
The pro-EU centrist Emmanuel Macron has won the French presidency with a decisive victory over the far-right Marine Le Pen that his supporters hailed as holding back the tide of populism.
Macron, 39, a former economy minister who ran as a “neither left nor right” independent promising to shake up the French political system, took 65.9% to Le Pen’s 34.1%, according to initial projections from early counts, The Guardian said.
Macron, who has never held elected office and was unknown until three years ago, is France’s youngest president.
Turnout was projected to have been the lowest in more than 40 years.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
