Emmanuel Macron prepares groundwork for transition to power

French President-elect Emmanuel Macron is preparing the groundwork for his transition to power, with plans for a visit to Germany, a name change for his political movement and an appearance on Monday with the man whose job he assumes.

Mr Macron defeated far-right leader Marine Le Pen in Sunday's presidential vote, and now must pull together a majority for his year-old political movement by mid-June legislative elections.
