President Macron: If the promises were to come true

  • Emmanuel Macron is the new president of France, receiving 65.5% of the votes of the electorate. Marine Le Pen, meanwhile, has collected 34.2% of votes. Macron has about 20.7 million citizens and Le Pen has 11. Six million voters have abstained.

Although Le Pen receives eleven million votes, he considers himself a loser and accepts the new president. The National Front (FN) has announced profound changes to the movement, as well as the legislative vote of June, which legally foresees a “third round”. Le Pen says the FN will be the first opposition force to President Macron’s new era.

In Marche by Macron! The new party has a huge factory from now until June 11th. The social-liberal Macron will have to get a strong representative in the National Assembly if he is to carry out the reforms he has announced.

Through these reforms it seeks to harmonize the French tax and labour economy, while at the same time attuning to the political measures emanating from Europe. In its terms, it will make its first working trip to German Conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon announces that the France Insumiso movement will oppose the conservative and neoliberal policies that will come from Europe. It aims at the realization of social and ecological humanism.

Apparently, President Macron will have to complete the hypothetical Cohabitation or Cohabitation Government. To do this, it should reach agreements with the conservative Les Républicains (LR) party and the centrist MoFrog party.

The LR candidate, François Fillon, has not yet emerged from this election. There will be a lot of ups and downs in the LR over the next four weeks. By contrast, the former Minister of Education, François Bayrou, is perfectly placed in the formation of the Government.

In the first speech offered by the new president at the Louvre Museum’s esplanade, he said that he is aware of the division of the nation and that he will also consider the voters of both the FN and the other parties that have made him president. His key word is rassemblement.

Is it possible to bring together, on the left, on the right, the “rich” and the “poor” in the same project? Will Europe’s capitalist neoliberal policy reduce the rate of France’s three million unemployed?

What’s left before the rise of the far right
During the "Guerarte", between the first and second round of elections in the French State, we witnessed an interesting phenomenon that clearly reflects the situation of the extreme right in Europe and the role of the other political forces, especially the left, in the face of... [+]

Shoes

Last week I bought new mountain shoes in a sports shop on this coast so big that I'm not going to name. I'm not an alpinist, I'm not blind in the fight for the tops, but a simple citizen fond of wandering the slopes: I like how my breath tears my lungs, let's say when I wake up in... [+]

Macron wins in Ipar Euskal Herria by far the most
In Iparralde, Emmanuel Macron has won 76.52% of the votes. Abstention, zero votes and blank votes have also had a great presence, in general, in the last elections and, more specifically, much greater than in 2002, when Le Pen was first placed on the second round.

Who votes for the working class?
Why have the right and the ultra-right won in France? That is also clear. The French left, as fragmented as the European one, has allowed this situation to occur in recent years.

Macron wins in the Northern Basque Country, with more difference
Emmanuel Macron was also victorious in the Basque Country, with 76.52% of the votes. Abstention, invalid votes and white votes are also widely present in the previous elections, and more specifically, much higher than in 2002, when Le Pen was first placed in the second round.

The left at the crossroads
What is happening inside the left in the last few decades is "revolutionary". The opposition between the sociological profiles that we can find within this is very evident.

Nationalism is said to have lost, in favor of the Republic! I wonder if it is! ?
Estimates but they’re not yet, but Le Pen hasn’t received 40% of the expected votes, it hasn’t reached 35%. If it is high, the FN has collected eleven million votes. The French have forgotten Auschwitz, neoliberalism has been defeated.
