Quite an incredible move in French politics today that might reveal that we're in fact witnessing nothing less than a coup by Macron.

      Yes because the 5th republic’s constitution was written by degaulle post war which give some veto power as the president.

      But let’s not blame De gaule for all the ills in the world all the parties uses anti-democratic means to advance using the constitution.

      Mitterand from the socialist party will prop up the rightwing to steal votes from the communists or even the center right in elections.

      The constitution is not working but no winner is going to dissolve the means in which they use to come into power.

    Polls show that liberals are more opposed to democracy than even the far right is

    Liberals like Democracy™ which is when liberals are in charge. Convenient that.

        For sure, but specifically liberals are more likely to agree with ideas like competency tests for voting, and having structures in place that make change through democratic means harder, like having a senate that gives more power to rural areas and has a longer election cycle that makes actually changing it take much longer.

      That was a good way to call his bluff, I’m guessing Melenchon knew that Macron wouldn’t go even for that and forced him to expose himself.

    And since some people may argue that it is unprecedented during a “cohabitation” scenario when the election happens in the middle of a presidential mandate and the winners aren’t from the president’s party, that’s NOT true either.

    The French are trying to do “you can’t replace Antonin Scalia during an election year” to ignore an actual election. Incroyable.

      France has a very powerful presidency because of that rotten De Gaulle, and relies like all strong-presidency republics, on nobody calling the bluff and pushing the limits of that power. Macron is doing so in order to prevent the formation of a left-wing government.
