Europe's center-right voting base is much more centrist than in the US plus his plans of liberalising the economy, flexibilizing the labour code, cutting corporate taxes (which are pathetically high in south Europe) and reducing and restructuring the public sector were extremely appealing to center-right voters and moderate/reformist center-left voters.

As a center-right voter, these are some of the reasons i like Macron. Fillon had some good ideas but the job family fiasco destroyed his image of a reformist and made him as part of the problem. Wish we had someone like Macron here in Portugal.
