Former President Barack Obama, stating he does not plan on getting involved in many elections, announces his endorsement of Emmanuel Macron for President of France:





I'm not planning to get involved in many elections now that I don't have to run for office again, but the French election is very important to the future of France and the values that we care so much about.



I have admired the campaign that Emmanuel Macron has run. He has stood up for liberal values. He put forward the vision for the important role that France plays in Europe and around the world. And he has committed to a better future for French people. He appeals to people's hopes, and not their fears.

Emmanuel Macron on Marine Le Pen Voters: "They’re here. It’s they. It’s they who are our true enemies. Powerful, organized, skillful, determined. You pass them in the streets, in the countryside or on the web, most often well hidden. As hateful as they are cowardly. You know them. The party of the agents of the disaster, the fearmongerers. The French far-right. It’s here."
