A man in the face of his fate


Emmanuel Macron promises to move into a "new era": but with a view to the parliamentary elections in June, the defeated parties are already preparing the revenge. In return, Macron plans a furious start.









On the morning after the election, France shows his new, young face: newspapers, TV stations and internet portals illustrate the election victory with the portrait of Emmanuel Macron. "Good", "Libération", "daring", "La Nouvelle République" overrules the photo of the 39-year-old, "Figaro" shows the election winner with the line "A victory on the advance". The first official appearance will be held this Monday: The newly-elected Macron will be attended by President François Hollande at the 8 May celebrations, commemorating the victory of France over Nazi Germany. Macron had already shown his state profile 

immediately after the election victory. With a marcher full of symbolic power, he crossed the courtyard of the Louvre to the EU anthem "Ode to Joy". Macron, alone at the moment of victory, with a serious face, chosen for the highest office of the republic. The ingenious direction underlines the role of the French President: incarnation and leader of the nation, endowed with enormous power and at the same time under the burden of a colossal responsibility. The performance is reminiscent of François Mitterrand's 1981 journey to the Pantheon - a man in the face of his destiny.

(EM), an appeal for mutual confidence and confidence in the future: "I will listen to all the French." With pathos, he adds, "Europe and the world look to us, we are expected to embody the spirit of enlightenment, a world with more humanism, more 

security, more ecology and growth." On the promise "I will serve you," Macron, without euphoria and without triumphant tremolo, formulates the multiple 

warning: "Our task is immense." No understatement. Of course, the 39-year-old embodies the generational change - the average age of the previous presidents was 58 years. But the hope-bearer is by no means all Frenchmen. One-third of the electorate abstained; Many French made their decision for Macron out of 

embarrassment or as a sign of resistance to the right-wing populist Marine Le Pen.

SPD to Kiel-Pleite Save him, who can

Image
If it does not, then even the little things go by. Then at some time a waiter in the SPD headquarters also slips a tray full of glasses and bottles from the hand. It is a very bitter evening for him and his party, so the SPD leader and Chancellor candidate Martin Schulz does not want to argue. "I am  annoyed," says Schulz on the small platform in the Willy-Brandt-Haus. The election in Schleswig-Holstein should give its campaign a new impetus - now exactly the opposite has happened. Instead of a strong backwind from the Kiel Fjord, the question arises: Can the SPD under Schulz actually win elections? Or was it all just a virtual vortex, no more than a survey phenomenon? Even the Saarland  election five weeks ago ended for the Social Democrats disappointing. Whoever is listening to the SPD this evening gets the impression that there is a culprit for the bankruptcy in the north: Prime Minister Prime Minister Torsten Albig. This interpretation is, on the one hand, tact...
