As of this week France has a new president and he is Mr Normal. Sure enough, normal beats the megalomaniac and generally awful character of his predecessor. However, France might need a bit better than the average joe to sort itself and the eurozone out of its deep difficulties. My take on our new president: he is a demagogue who will most likely be unable to hold his promises and the French will be once again disappointed in five years. Unfortunately the only political alternative by then may well be Ms Le Pen, which is not very reassuring. As usual the cartoonists are giving us the best analysis of the situation... funny always wins!
