New France President, Emmanuel
Macron, has promised to restore France's global standing, as he was officially
inaugurated as the country's youngest president at the age of 39.
Speaking after his elaborate
inauguration ceremony today, Macron said his mandate will give the French back
the confidence to believe in themselves.
He also vowed to see the EU reformed
and relaunched during his time in office.
Macron, who takes over from François
Hollande, was proclaimed France's new president a week after his resounding
victory over the National Front's Marine le Pen, with 66% of the vote in the
run-off poll.
The former investment banker, who
had never contested an election before and only formed his centrist political
movement a year ago, has vowed to shake up the country's political order and
reinvigorate its economy.
