What is Macaroni trying to achieve here? He knows he’s losing why would he call for national elections right now?

What the fuck ? Quoi la baise ?

Looks like that at best France won’t have a majority, at worst we’ll have Ms Le Pen as a Prime minister (France is a semi presidential regime, and if the President doesn’t have the majority, most of the power shifts toward the prime minister, with a president only relevant for international policy)

One theory some analysts say is that since Macron’s second term ends in 2027, and since it’s his last, if the FN doesn’t govern well, then his party might be able to win again.

Basically, they’re saying that Macron is playing a dangerous game of chess.

Ah, the good old von-Papen-maneuver. This time it will work for sure. What could possibly go wrong?
