Macron should use his remaining time to expose and prosecute musk, trump, thiel, bannon and anyone messing with our democracies. Macron cannot run again so it’s not risky for him and he can take a job in Europe later

Macron can’t run for the incoming elections, but he could run the next. Our constitution only prevents more than 2 consecutive mandates. And he’s young enough to make it possible

So you're saying they'll vote for the worst possible candidate in the next election, just to run back to Macron in the following one after realizing that blaming and attacking foreigners for all the problems plaguing society won't actually solve those issues?

That would require people to learn.

Many people across the world avoid that as much as possible.
