ALAIN JOCARD, PRESS POOL By Matthew Dalton Updated May 14, 2017 12:34 p.m. ET 29 COMMENTS PARIS— Emmanuel Macron took office as president of France on Sunday, launching the 39-year-old’s mission to overhaul the French economy and reinforce the European Union. At the start of a ceremony at the Élysée Palace, Mr. Macron strode on a red carpet toward François Hollande, the departing president who brought Mr. Macron into government as a personal adviser and then elevated him to economy minister. The two headed inside for a meeting to discuss the most sensitive matters of state. Mr. Macron then proceeded to a ceremony on the other side of the palace, where the results of last week’s election were read out and Mr. Macron officially became president. He is France’s youngest head of state in the postwar era. In his first speech shortly after, Mr. Macron said France under his presidency would act as a bulwark for the international community. “The world and Europe today more than ever need France,” he said. “They need a France strong and sure of its destiny.” Poster Comment: France, once a great nation committed to Liberty for all and a great ally who helped to defeat the British during the Revolution, continues its slide down the slippery slope of socialism.

The real French president, Frau Merkle, skipped the ceremony.
