Macron’s victory is the first of its kind. It shatters France’s two-party political system of Socialists and conservatives. The system has ruled for the past 60 years. Almost a year ago, Macron founded En Marche or the “On the Move” movement as an alternative to those two parties. Young volunteers campaigned door-to-door throughout the country and grew the movement through Facebook and other social media outlets. Some compared it to similar movements in the U.S. “He did what Obama did in 2007,” said French political strategy expert Guillaume Liegey. “He built a movement outside of the party structure.”
馬克宏的勝利首開先例。這嚴重破壞法國保守黨和社會黨的兩黨政治系統(tǒng)。這個系統(tǒng)已經統(tǒng)治過去的60年。約莫一年前，馬克宏創(chuàng)立「前進」運動作為兩個政黨的替代。整個國家都有年輕的志工透過拜訪每一戶以展開運動并以臉書與其它社群媒體使運動成長。有些人將之與美國類似的行動比較。「他做的就是歐巴馬在2007年做的。」法國政治策略專家Guillaume Liegey說：「他從政黨體制外開始行動?！?/p>

Le Pen, a lawyer and politician, campaigned as a conservative candidate. She pushed to close France’s borders, limit immigration, and increase security. She wanted the country to vote on leaving the European Union.
勒朋，一名律師與政治家，以保守黨候選人的身份參選。她強調關閉法國邊界、限制移民、和增加安全。她想要法國公投推出歐盟。

During last week’s presidential debate, Le Pen appealed to millions of voters with a “France First” message, saying Macron was not thinking of the working poor. Although Macron ultimately won the election, 11 million people cast their vote for Le Pen. She received about 34 percent of the vote. Michael Roth, Germany’s deputy foreign minister, praised Macron’s win. However, he said he fears that if Macron fails to boost the country’s economy, Le Pen could be elected the country’s next president.

On Monday, Macron changed the name of his political movement to La Republique En Marche, or “Republic on the Move.” He continued to lay the foundation for his transition to power by appearing with outgoing president, Francois Hollande.
