Kinda crazy to me that he first pulls out the stops to block FN (their alt-right party), then later made overtures to them instead of the left wing. Like… fucking what.
Macron et co hate the far-right more than the left, but only barely. Once the far-right was no longer in danger of being in control, Macron felt safe to fuck over the left by going with a fellow neoliberal shill.
