'Symbolic power: What's the point of Macron, or the centre, if they give everything away?'
NegativeWorld Affairs

With the 2027 elections looming, Foucart suggests Macron is avoiding snap elections and instead opting for a strategy that merely delays addressing pressing issues, potentially allowing far-right influences to gain traction. This matters because it highlights the challenges of governance in France and raises concerns about the effectiveness of Macron's leadership in a politically charged environment.
