2 months agoSo it seems the left and far right in France want to drop NATO.
Interesting, I wonder what the establishment will do now. If they give into the far right then they risk leaving NATO. On the other hand if they allow the left to take over then they still risk leaving NATO.
We can expect more centrists in France, otherwise a coup might just happen
I’d like to know why macron was so eager to hold an election. Waiting would have benefitted the far right from a numbers perspective.
What was the point of holding elections now, if you were going to give the reigns to the far right anyway? Now he actually looks like he is subverting French democracy.
Part of me thinks he believed the initial polls that broadcasted a far right victory, and decided to go with it.
