Hoyer Statement on the French Election
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on Emmanuel Macron's victory in the French Presidential election:
"I join in congratulating President-Elect Emmanuel Macron on his resounding victory. The French people have chosen hope over fear, chosen to look forward rather than backward. They have rejected the kind of divisive campaigning, assisted by fake news and Russian hacks, that propelled Donald Trump into office in our country. They have struck a blow for inclusive, tolerant democracy against the tide of extremism and xenophobia. I look forward to supporting President-Elect Macron's efforts to preserve the European Union and to strengthen the liberal international order that has brought security to the United States, France, our NATO partners, and our other allies since the end of the Second World War."
