   Macron: “president, prime minister and party leader all at the same time”

   Ah, Emmanuel, taking a page out of Erdoğan’s book, I see.

     @aral It is extremely frightening to see this man casually dismiss the party and program most French people voted for.

     The French Republic was created with very few anti-authoritarian protections, under the assumption that most people wouldn’t vote for a despot. Problem is, people can turn into despots, and now we see the issue: Macron will build a Frankenstein government to make sure he can pass his anti-social policies. Heinous.

     @thelinuxEXP @aral It's so very telling that when the left gains traction it's "threatening the stability of the institutions", but when actual fascists are on the rise, the left has got to "try to reach an agreement" (or whatever Macron said).
     "'Let's agree to meet in the middle,' said the dishonest man and took a step back into the shadows."

     @Mabande @aral Exactly. And when the left actually starts shouting that this is not ok, all they have to say is « oh look at how unstable they are, they just want to damage our institutions, they can’t cooperate ».
