Emmanuel Macron

He was born on December 21, 1977 in Amiens, France.

He was baptized Roman Catholic when he was 12.

At age 39, he became the youngest president in French history and the youngest head of state since Napoleon III.

Prior to being elected president of France, he had never held elected office.

His aim is not to bring people to either the left or the right, but to unite the French people.

He spearheaded the so-called “Macron Law” which aimed to shake up the economy through labor reform.

He worked on Francois Hollande’s 2012 presidential campaign.

He also resigned in August 2016 in order to launch a bid in the 2017 presidential election.
