Top Europe rabbi: Macron victory a 'powerful message'

The head of the Conference of European Rabbis on Monday welcomed Emmanuel Macron's victory in the French presidential election, saying voters sent a "very powerful" message to the country's far-right.

Macron's defeat of far-right rival Marine Le Pen in the run-off vote is "very good news for France," Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt told AFP.
