One of the striking facts of this presidential election was that France's youngest president was re-elected with the help of older voters. Emmanuel Macron was elected by a majority of the over 65s, while the under 25s were the most likely to stay at home. After the first round, some students at Paris-Sorbonne University protested at what they called a "fake choice" of two right-wing candidates. Newshour's James Coomarasamy met two students, Camillo and Laurie, who were both unenthusiastic about their re-elected president. (Photo shows students Camillo and Laurie. Credit: 麻豆社)
