BRUSSELS (Sputnik) — European Commission's President Jean-Claude Juncker congratulated on Sunday French independent presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron on the results of the first round of the elections and wished him good luck, the commission's Chief Spokesperson Margaritis Schinas said.
"Juncker congratulated Emmanuel Macron on his result in the first round and wished him good luck in the future," Schinas wrote on his Twitter page.
