French president Emmanuel Macron had two main goals for his presidency: to curb the rise of the far right, and to make Europe independent from the US and from China – with France as its leader. Now he is losing Europe to the far right.

    Tactics against the far right? What tactics? He has done absolutely nothing against the rise of the far right and helped it so many times.

    Hell he has become more extremist every year himself.

    What works against the far is known, we have already done it in the past : everything done by the CNR after the war. A social safety net. He has done nothing but destroying it, not only has he failed to fight the far right, he is actively enabling it.

    Excellent summary of the political situation in France, thanks for sharing

    Macron took pride in this ability to see beyond ideological apriorism and see all sides of the issues. He was neither left nor right – he was both. Or neither.

    The french leftists are usually mocking Macron’s catch phrase "neither left nor right", we say he’s neither left, nor left
