Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

Elitist. But stupid. Or at the very least with a heartbreaking EQ.

I wish I could send Attal a gift basket, but fear american made cheese and meats would be seen as an insult

No surprise. Macron has practically laid down a red carpet for the extreme right. He's a Valeurs actuels guy. Those who don't want to see will remain blind to the end.

I was wondering how this result got like this without macron playing a role. Interesting.

Why would he do that? Is he more afraid of the far left than the far right? 🤷‍♂️

I think macron privately supports Le Pen. Every recent decision he's made is insane unless you work from the premise that he knew his time in charge is short and he wants to become one of Le Pen's Vichy government sycophants.

I’ve been critical of Attal and his rhetoric over the last 3.5 weeks: but if the RN loses on Sunday, he should be remembered as the one in the Macronist bloc who maneuvered to avoid the president’s bonkers gamble result in a far-right government.

Macron is a complete idiot and deserves this loss.

Thank god he can’t be reelected in ‘27, he is tied for the worst French president of my lifetime with Sarkozy… Also, at this point he has been reaching so far on his right that maybe he just wants the far-right to win bc he likes them 🤷‍♂️
