USA. New York City. Union Square. May 9th, 2017.
One of the increasingly rare newstands in the city. This morning, the New York Post's headline concerns the French presidential election: "France's New Leader, Macron: Oui Did It!" For the New York Times, it's "Shunning An Emergent Far Right." France elected Macron President by "ousting an emerging extreme right." Same thing for the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times: "Macron Cruises to French Victory" and "Macron Sweeps to Victory." Macron was on his way to victory and successfully won the presidential election. The city is in a good mood. It is chilly, but there is a beautiful sun.
