Nah that's not true. He can do whatever he wants and he knows it. He already used up 5 primary ministers which is totally insane IMO.

If he resigns he can go for a third term, so maybe it was his plan since day one.

Those are not the sideburns of a man who willingly resigns.

It is utterly baffling to me how staunchly Macron and his political allies refuse to even discuss reasonable compromise with the left side of French politics. And this is AFTER they pulled out the stops relatively recently to stop RN gaining more power. And it seems like they’ve changed their mind, and are essentially working to self-sabotage so hard that they effectively usher RN into power. It’s so fucking stupid, and it reminds me of the US DNC in all of the worst ways.
