Emmanuel Macron's election gamble a 'losing bet'? | Nina Dos Santos

"Macron's personal brand is looking increasingly toxic and he is looking increasingly detached."

International reporter Nina Dos Santos gives a sense of the aftermath to Emmanuel Macron's decision to call a snap election after his Renaissance party was roundly defeated in the European elections.

Who on earth would take lessons on politics from a bloke who kicks a ball around for a living?

[lagrangewei]

imagine calling an election without informing your party own prime minister ahead of time... LOL

Oh yes he gambles all the time. The main issue is that, this time, the bet is our whole country !

You cannot believe how unpopular Macron is - I reasonably voted for him twice and this time I will vote for RN which became far more civilised than the older party and is in many respects not that far from the French conservative RPR of the 80’s. We need to have a majority in parliament. There are a few quick wins for the RN and although it is not very glamour one quick win would be to ensure that enough prisons are created. France has become a violent country and crime has risen dramatically over the past decade and there Must be a social response to this. This is something the French people is really demanding and that Macron completely overlooked. Appart from this I believe we all agreed that we would have to work more years to enjoy the benefit of the national pension scheme. We certainly all feel a little poorer but first and foremost we all want to feel safe.

Has the left moved the centre ground left So anybody right of centre is far right?

idk from a distance he kind of seems like a cool guy + i think people respect him for calling the election, and hes a good debater. Also France has gained in prestige in recent years, so idk maybe he pulls through

Hope France too embraces the global moral compass which is daunting on humanity🙏
