The Latest: Macron pays tribute at tomb of unknown soldier
Hollande vaunted his efforts to produce the Paris Agreement on fighting climate change, legalizing gay marriage in France and doing "everything possible to ensure that Greece stays in Europe." New French President Emmanuel Macron says he will do everything that is necessary to fight terrorism and authoritarianism and to resolve the world's migration crisis. The 39-year-old centrist, speaking Sunday in his inauguration speech at the Elysee presidential palace in Paris, says "we will take all our responsibilities to provide, every time it's needed, a relevant response to big contemporary crises." The president of the Constitutional Council, Laurent Fabius, proclaimed the official result of the vote in a ceremony Sunday at the Elysee presidential palace in Paris. Macron, 39, had been Hollande's top economy adviser from 2012 to 2014, then became his economy minister until last year, when he decided to quit the Socialist government and launch his independent presidential bid. Macron's formal inauguration ceremony was to start shortly in the reception hall of the presidential palace. France's President-elect Emmanuel Macron has arrived at the Elysee presidential palace for his inauguration ceremony. Macron had been Hollande's top economy adviser at the Elysee from 2012 to 2014, then became his economy minister until last year, when he decided to quit the Socialist government and launch his independent presidential bid. Macron will then make a speech in the Elysee reception hall in front of about 300 guests, officials and family members, including his wife Brigitte Macron, in a lavender blue dress designed by French designer Nicolas Ghesquiere for Louis Vuitton.

'Crapumenta!' … Anger in Athens as the blue lambs of Documenta hit town
The Greek capital has been invaded by talking frogs, dyed lambs and marble tents. But many locals are furious at the ‘colonial attitudes’ of the German art extravaganza ‘Hello, hello,” croaks a voice in the undergrowth. “This is Ben!” I’m in the lower gardens of the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens, where the sound of frogs and froglike voices seems to be coming from the flowers, bushes and trees that line its manmade waterway. It is a bizarre experience in what is otherwise an oasis of calm. But this amphibian chorus is actually a work of contemporary art, a piece of “sonic graffiti” emanating from 24 speakers concealed in the greenery. Why is this august museum – famed for its religious art, its ancient manuscripts, icons and ceramics – venturing into such strange new territory? Because Documenta has come to town. Documenta is the year’s most anticipated art event and, for the first time, the disorientating extravaganza has spread itself across a guest city as well as Kassel, the German town where it was born 10 years after the second world war. “We wanted to be open to contemporary art,” says Katerina Dellaporta, the Athens museum’s director. “But how much the average Greek is open to it is another question.” Continue reading...
