PARIS—France’s Emmanuel Macron was sworn in for his second term as president on Saturday, promising to lead the country with a “new method” as his political rivals kicked off campaigning for next month’s legislative election.
In a country where presidents rarely get reelected, Macron won 58.5 percent of the votes in the second round against Marine Le Pen, despite strong opposition to his pro-business policies and a proposal to raise the retirement age.
