On Macron’s Next Move

The latest French government collapsed after less than a month. The French electorate is increasingly viewing Macron, not the rowdy and divided opposition, as the source of instability. What should he do?

France needs a new parliamentary election, and Macron needs to make a positive case to the French public that the center is the only reasonable option instead of allying himself with the left against the RN. If the RN wins, so be it. Better to have them run the country into ruin with adult supervision in foreign affairs today than to win the presidency tomorrow.
