“小鲜肉”马克龙当选法国最年轻总统欧盟终于松了口气

2016年4月，马克龙依照自己姓名的首字母缩写发起“前进运动”（En Marche），并于11月正式宣布以独立候选人身份参加总统选举。

除了自身实力外，马克龙能够轻松胜选也有好运加持。由于种种原因，法国传统的左右翼政党社会党和共和党都没有进入第二轮投票。

One of his most dangerous opponents, conservative former Prime Minister Francois Fillon, was vilified after allegations that his family benefited from cushy taxpayer-funded jobs for years. Fillon is facing charges in the case.

保守派前总理弗朗索瓦·菲永是马克龙最危险的对手之一，他因为被指常年让家人吃“空饷”而受人诟病，现在正面临正式指控。

On the left, the Socialist Party imploded, its candidate abandoned by voters who wanted to punish Hollande, France's most unpopular president since World War II. Hollande himself decided not to run again.

在左派方面，社会党内部瓦解，其候选人被想要惩罚奥朗德的选民所抛弃。奥朗德是自第二次世界大战以来最不受欢迎的法国总统。他决定不继续参选。

马克龙的政治立场：重商、亲欧

He is a liberal centrist, pro-business and a strong supporter of the European Union.

马克龙是一名温和的中间派，他重视商业发展，是欧盟的坚定支持者。

His campaign pledges included a 120,000 reduction in public-sector jobs, a cut in public spending by €60bn, and a lowering of the unemployment rate to below 7%.
