Macron Wins French Presidential Election

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Emmanuel Macron has beaten Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Front party to take the French Presidency. He received over 66% of the vote, but how much real support does he actually have in the country? And how will he tackle France's economic woes? Theo Leggett speaks to Brigitte Granville, Professor of International Economics and Economic Policy at Queen Mary University of London and by Olivier Tonneau, lecturer in modern languages at Homerton College Cambridge and member of the hard-left movement 'La France Insoumise'. They say it's lonely at the top, but what happens when stress turns into burnout? Our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway takes a look at the pitfalls of pressure in the workplace.
