A Macronist who came in 3rd place in southern France says he is dropping out to block the far-right.

Results here: RN 36%, left 29%, Macronist 25%.

What's interesting...: He said as he dropped out that he got calls to *not* do so, including from Macron.

not surprising at all that Macron would want the far right to win.

Is there a reason Macron doesn't want to work with the left to block the far right? Seems like "maximize non right wing seats" via coalition would be the no brainer option.

Props to the guy for dropping out anyway. Clear-eyed decision making and I wish him the absolute best.

I was trying to remember how many different elections the French center has asked the left to bite this exact bullet

Macron is flipping to being a Le Penn crony. He fucked up worse than David Cameron and now he's trying to become a bit player in a new Putinist Vichy regime.
