These results have exposed Macron’s presidential legitimacy (or lack thereof) as little more than an empty vote against the ‘far-right’.

Macron’s re-election proves the woke left has become the most ardent wing of a reactionary class which opposes all working-class concerns.

Under the Macron administration, the erosion of French nationhood has accelerated dramatically.

Having witnessed voting dogs and pre-scripted debates, one may have been forgiven for believing that this election had reached its comedic apogee.

Whilst Eric Zemmour polls at around fifteen per cent but struggles to make the five hundred sponsors threshold, one can begin to understand the growing gap between French people and their elected representatives.
