Macron elected president of France Foreign media: another member of the global team of high-value leaders

Western media said that France's newly elected president Macron is only 39 years old. At the same time as he was elected, he also became a newcomer to a young team. The members of this team are not very old, and they are all high-value, advocate freedom, and have a high popularity in the media and social networks. They grew up in the post-ideological era and embraced centrist ideas. Macron's predecessors include Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, Dutch Prime Minister Rutte, and former Belgian Prime Minister Vousta. Also warming up on the bench were Feren, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of The United Kingdom, and Rivera, the president of the Spanish Civic Party.

According to the Spanish newspaper Le Monde website reported on May 8, when Trudeau was born in 1975, his father Pierre Trudeau had been sitting on the prime minister's position for three years. After the Liberal Party suffered a historic defeat in 2012, Trudeau was appointed to lead the Liberal Party back three years later. Many people think that he has a very different style from US President Trump, but some similar to former President Barack Obama. Although the increase in alcohol taxes and lower public transportation subsidies have led to a slight drop in Trudeau's approval ratings, even if he wears a pair of Star Wars-themed socks, it can still cause a traction on social networking sites.

Dutch Prime Minister Rutte, 50, is just the opposite. He took great care to maintain his privacy, publicly stating that he was single and living with his mother. Two months ago he stood out in one of the most internationally watched elections in Dutch history. Given that the Dutch anti-European far right has led the polls for months, the international community is inevitably worried that the Netherlands will follow the British to leave the EU. But Lutte eventually turned the tide and formed a new coalition government.

Macron, who has just won, will face difficulties in the parliamentary elections. He will then have to form a new government based on the results of the parliamentary elections, but it will not be easy to integrate the centrists, the left and the right. He promised to promote new faces from civil society, and it remained to be seen.

The main tone of French politics has changed. Slovenian philosopher Slavoy Zhirzek predicted in the media a few days ago: "There are signs of restructuring in the European political space. "The Social Democratic parties lost in England, France, the Netherlands, and Spain. Social democratic parties, which lack innovative ideas, have given space to both forces. One is the ultra-left forces that are far from European orthodoxy, such as the left-wing populist "Unyielding France" movement led by The French election candidate Mélang-chiu, and the French "Forward" movement led by Macron, which Žérzek called "neoliberalism in the mask".

Some people have compared Macron with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, believing that they are open, optimistic and advocate a market economy. In fact, the neoliberal ranks that Macron has just joined inherit the economic ideals of the right, such as not raising taxes, while also adhering to the secular ideas of the left, such as supporting same-sex marriage. Their hearts are on the left, but the briefcase is in their right hand.

In the context of the era of economic globalization, this young team has realized that Europe is not geographically vast. Perhaps Vosda, who has become the chief representative of the European Parliament in the Brexit negotiations, can set an example for these little brothers. (Editor/Liu Lifei)
