‘Proudly feminist’ Emmanuel Macron celebrates becoming French president by throwing a party with sexy can-can dancers lifting up their skirts

FRANCE’S new president has been accused of breaking the feminist ideals he bragged about in his election campaign after celebrating victory with scantily dressed dancers.
Emmanuel Macron emerged as victor with 65.5 percent of the vote in his face-off with the far-right National Front’s Marie Le Pen.
And to celebrate defeating the populist who threatened to bring down the elite in France and the EU, he partied in style.
The event hosted a raunchy can-can dancing act in the usually high-brow Louvre museum.
This has raised eyebrows among the country’s feminists, with many taking to Twitter to vent their disgust.
One of them, Fatima Benomar, said: “Dancers in pants on stage at the Louvre !!!: -O Nothing surprising coming from the one who said ‘porno is life’”
Another, Caroline Jumeau, added: “It does not bode well …”
But the newly elected president is known for being contradictory.
Macron was voted in on ticket of being an outsider offering a fresh start from the elite.
Many in France blame the entrenched establishment for chronic joblessness, economic stagnation and terrorists massacres ravaging the country.
Macron based his election campaign by claiming to offer an alternative.
But this has puzzled commentators because the politician could be seen as part of the French elite.
The politician has been a banker, attended an elite government school and was a senior government minister at the heart of the last French government headed by hated President Francois Hollande.
It is expected that many of the previously ruling Socialist party will now move over to the Macron’s independent political party En Marche!
Already the former Socialist party Prime Minister Manuel Valls has signalled he was transferring over.
As well as being famous for taking control of France aged just 39, he is also known for marrying his teacher whom he met aged 15 and his 24 years older than him.
