Louvre Museum: French-First Nationalism and Elysee Palace

louvre museum: If confirmed, the result would constitute a resounding rejection of far-right Marine Le Pen's French-first nationalism and dash her hopes that the same populist wave that swept Donald Trump into the White House would also carry her to the French presidential Elysee Palace, according to Hamilton Spectator. A Macron victory would mark the third time in six months following elections in Austria and the Netherlands that European voters have shot down far-right populists who want to restore borders across Europe. A crowd outside the Louvre museum at a Macron victory party jubilantly waved red, white and blue tricolour flags at the news. The victory of a candidate Macron who championed European unity could strengthen the EU's hand in its complex divorce proceedings with Britain, which voted last year to leave the bloc. Le Pen's projected 35 per cent score was lower than her polling numbers earlier in the campaign. Pollsters projected that Macron won 65 per cent of the votes Sunday. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
