Francois Hollande: The era of Macronism is over
Thus, according to Francois Hollande, the predecessor of the current French president, the best times for French President Emmanuel Macron are coming to an end. It has arrived.

He said: “But what he may have represented for a while is over.” He is campaigning in the center of France and denied any animosity with Macron. “It’s all in the past,” the socialist said of his relationship with Macron. I have no more bills to pay.
Having suffered poor poll numbers in the 2017 election, Hollande did not run for a second term. At the time, his former economy minister, Emmanuel Macron, won a surprise victory as a centrist, pro-business candidate that shook the traditional ruling parties of the left and right. In 2022, Macron was confirmed for a second five-year term, but lost his absolute majority in the National Assembly in parliamentary elections that year. . He added: “The parties were seriously damaged during this period and public morale was also damaged. Referring to the European elections two weeks ago, he emphasized that the extreme right has never been as strong as it is today.”

Macron then dissolved the National Assembly and called new elections. PCF) and the Greens (EELV) formed the New Popular Front (NFP) electoral coalition. The New Popular Front is currently in second place in the polls behind the National Assembly RN and both are well ahead of Macron’s Renaissance Party. 69-year-old Hollande says it’s time for a political rethink it is arrived. He acknowledged that it is unusual for a former president to run as a representative in a constituency. Referring to the trend towards the right in France, Hollande explained: I did not intend to participate in the elections in my position and for this to happen something very serious had to happen.
Hollande from 1988 to 1993 and from From 1997 to 2012, he was a member of parliament in the Courze region of France. He was the president of this country from 2012 to 2017.
The first round of the French parliamentary elections is scheduled to be held on June 30 (July 10). If the extreme French party wins this parliamentary election, the 28-year-old Bardella, the party’s candidate, will have the best chance to take over the prime ministership. However, Macron hopes to use this risky maneuver to create a majority in the new elections. more stable for the remainder of his presidential term.
His ruling camp has not had an absolute majority in the National Assembly for two years. Since then, governing has become difficult for Macron. The next presidential election in France is not scheduled until 2027.
According to experts, if Macron’s game does not work out, it will be fatal for Germany and Europe. Macron will lose significant power and will no longer be able to easily implement his foreign policy path.
