Emmanuel Macron
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Macron
Emmanuel Macron (French: [ɛmanɥɛl makʁɔ̃]; born 21 December 1977) is a French politician, senior civil servant, and former investment banker. Born in Amiens, he studied Philosophy at Paris Nanterre University, and later graduated from the École nationale d'administration (ENA) in 2004. He went on to become an Inspector of Finances in the French Inspectorate General of Finances (IGF) before becoming an investment banker at Rothschild & Cie Banque. A member of the French Socialist Party (PS) from 2006 to 2009, he was appointed deputy secretary-general under François Hollande's first government in 2012 before being appointed Minister of Economy, Industry and Digital Affairs in 2014 under the Second Valls Government, where he pushed through business-friendly reforms. He resigned in August 2016, in order to launch a social liberal bid in the 2017 presidential election. In November 2016, Macron declared that he would stand in the election under the banner of En Marche!, a movement he founded in April 2016.
Macron is married to Brigitte Trogneux, who is 24 years his senior, and was his former teacher in La Providence high school, Amiens. The pair first met when he was a student in her class, aged 15, but were only officially a couple once he was 18 years of age.
His parents initially attempted to split the couple by sending him away to Paris to finish the final year of his schooling, as they felt his youth made this relationship inappropriate, but the couple stayed together after he graduated, and were married in 2007.
The couple lives with Trogneux's three children from her previous marriage

François Fillon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/François_Fillon
François Charles Amand Fillon (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃.swa ʃaʁl amɑ̃ fi.jɔ̃]; born 4 March 1954) is a French politician who served as Prime Minister of France from 2007 to 2012 under President Nicolas Sarkozy. He is the current nominee of the Republicans (previously known as the Union for a Popular Movement), the country's largest centre-right political party, for the 2017 presidential election.
Fillon became Jean-Pierre Raffarin's Minister of Labour in 2002 and undertook controversial reforms of the 35-hour working week law and of the French retirement system. In 2004, as Minister of National Education he proposed the much debated Fillon law on Education.
In 2005, Fillon was elected Senator for the Sarthe Département. His role as a political advisor in Nicolas Sarkozy's successful race for President led to his becoming Prime Minister. Fillon resigned upon Sarkozy's defeat by François Hollande in the 2012 presidential elections.
Running on a platform described as conservative, Fillon entered the 2016 Republican presidential primary. He seemed a likely third as late as a week before the first round of voting, held on 20 November. He finally placed first in the first round, defeating Alain Juppé in the primary run-off a week later. Following his victory in the primary, Fillon has been seen as the frontrunner for the 2017 presidential election against Marine Le Pen (FN), Emmanuel Macron (EM) and Benoît Hamon
Fillon lives with his wife, Penelope, and five children, Marie, Charles, Antoine, Édouard and Arnaud, in the 12th-century Manoir de Beaucé, set in 20 acres (8 ha) of woodland on the banks of the River Sarthe 4 km east of the monastery village of Solesmes, near Sablé-sur-Sarthe, and about halfway between Le Mans and Angers. Mr. and Mrs. Fillon had lived in various other properties, always in the Sarthe, throughout their marriage, before buying Beaucé in 1993.
Fillon has a reputation as an Anglophile. His wife Penelope Kathryn Fillon (fr), née Clarke, was born in Llanover in Wales, the daughter of a solicitor. They met while she was teaching English during her gap year in Le Mans, and they were married in the bride's family church in June 1980.
François Fillon has spoken at a wide variety of universities in Britain, notably King's College London and the London School of Economics.
Fillon's younger brother, Pierre, an ophthalmic specialist (and now President of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest), later married Penelope Fillon's younger sister, Jane
Fillon was born on 4 March 1954 in Le Mans, Sarthe, France. His father is a civil law notary, while his mother, Anne Soulet Fillon, is a celebrated historian of Basque descent. His youngest brother, Dominique, is a pianist.
Fillon received a baccalauréat in 1972. He then studied at the University of Maine in Le Mans where he received a master's degree in public law in 1976. He subsequently received a master of Advanced Studies (diplôme d’études approfondies) in public law from Paris Descartes University
