In these premature and premature babies Parliamentary elections that he announced Emmanuel Macron There is something very interesting: the very high turnout, at least in the first round. 66.71% to be precise, according to official data from the French Ministry of the Interior.
It is clear that we have reached an (apolitical) era in which it is considered a novelty for people to participate in public affairs.
The French president, seeing the struggle in the European elections, where he once again had a large participation, decided to dissolve the National Assembly and bring the – previously unthinkable – extreme right to the gates of power.
The French (who work an average of 36 hours/week) gave a clear advantage in Marine Le Pen.
What does this mean? Have all citizens become devotees of the views of the National Rally? Of course not.
Instead, they disapproved of the policies of Emmanuel Macron, who, under the pretext and threat of Le Pen’s arrival in power, managed to enrage the French.
And now, with Jordan Bardella one step away from taking the “keys” from Matignon, the presidential field is having difficulty defining a clear “line” in the second round, despite the withdrawal of its candidates. It prefers “none”, between the National Rally and the Rassemblement National.
Macron’s Bonapartism has cost him: from his policies that gave rise to the Yellow Vests movement, to the pension law that he passed overnight with a law, to his dangerous statements about sending troops to Ukraine.
And 66.7% is a very high turnout rate, which sends a very clear message to both Paris and Brussels.
