NEW YORK – Reacting to the release of preliminary results of the second and final round of the French presidential election, World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder said:
“Together with all supporters of freedom and democracy across the globe, I am profoundly gratified by President Macron’s projected re-election. He has demonstrated himself to be a stalwart advocate of all that is decent in our turbulent world and an enemy of all forms of antisemitism, xenophobia, and all other bigotries and hatreds. At this time when millions have been displaced and are suffering, and in the face of unspeakable atrocities and threats, we need his steady leadership. I congratulate President Macron and the nation and people of France on this tremendously important victory.”
