Italian PM lauds Macron’s win

Rome, May 8 (IANS/AKI) Italy's Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni has welcomed centrist Emmanule Macron's sweeping victory over far-right leader Marine Le Pen in France's Presidential runoff on Sunday.

"Hurrah for Macron President - it offers Europe hope," tweeted Gentiloni.
