This not Macron bidding for some “globalist” power. He is playing for the French “nationalist” votes that often go to Le Pen supporters.
Given that French identity has been smothered under “diversity,” ripped apart by unassimilated migration, and punished by officialdom for decades, is it even possible to harness French nationalism at this point????
Absolutely. French citizens will vote on June 9 to elect 81 members of the European Parliament. The outcome will affect national politics.
