The same man who dissolved the National Assembly. No doubt for institutional stability ...

Aral Balkan reshared this.

I need to understand more about French politics. “Without naming the LFI, the president called on socialists, ecologists and communists in the left alliance to "cooperate with other political forces".”

Ecologists?? Ecologists have political power in France?? Wonderful! I went to law school because ecologists have no power in the US.

Ah, yes, the altar to "political stability" to which we have to sacrifice everything it seems. All BS. We had here that same discourse in Spain years ago and the so called "political stability" resulted to be three conservative liberals in a trenchcoat swearing that its all for the good of the country while reaping appart public services. Who could have say.

> A left-wing government "would be immediately censored by all the other groups represented in the National Assembly" and "the institutional stability of our country therefor requires us not to choose this option", Macron said.

Talk about wearing the sanitary condom the wrong side on.
