      Macron is a POS.

      This is only the start of his virtue signaling declarations with no intent to follow through to see if polls get good enough for him to re-trigger legislative elections.
      He fired the national representation and triggered legislatives elections in 2024, hoping to gain a better majority but ended up losing to the left.
      He wants to try again, but he had to wait 1 year (because constitution) and that wait period comes to an end… in June.

      Macron has learned a lesson from Trump: reality doesn’t matter. He’s been denying real, established facts and lying like no president before him for a few years now.
      Don’t mistake him for a good guy, he’s just doing a tiny bit better than actual fascists.

      Ps: it’s 2025, maybe we could stop using “having balls” as an expression of courage?

      Macron is not showing some balls, you dont have to be a super genius to see the wind shift. The only reason he ever took side against Palestine until then is because he do not want to hurt his US masters.

      Now that Trump is giving a big fuck you to the whole world and actively breaking his own economy it’s not really surprising to see him trying to distance with the atrocities he has covered and actively defended for US interest.

        It’s always strategy instead of values in politics, isn’t it? Makes me mad. In any case, I’m waiting on brutal genocide to end and hope for lady justice to “drain the swamp”. Not economic drain to his pocket like tRump, mind you.
