Where have all the soloists gone who for fifteen days boastfully intoned the de Profundis di Emmanuel Macron and ruled that his decision to dissolve the French Parliament was pure madness and would inexorably deliver the France to the far right pro-Russian Marine Le Pen? If they had intellectual honesty they would have to apologize not only to Macron, who certainly paid for his sentimental divorce with a part of the population, but to all citizens and answer a few simple questions: 1) without the suddenness with which the French Parliament was dissolved and without the speed with which the anti-Le Pen republican alliance was built after the first round of the political elections, would the rise of the far right have been halted? And it would have been formed, despite all its internal contradictions, the Popular Front? The answer is no.
Without Macron's one-two Le Pen would have won with all due respect to most pollsters and a large part of the press. Fortunately, reality is different from how they told us, because politics is intelligence, audacity, quick thinking, imagination, the complete opposite of the mental laziness and conformism that often dominate the scene. With the vote on 7 July, democratic France won and the far right lost, which until the end winked at Putin and he tried in extremis a makeover to calm the markets but which did not convince the vast majority of French people. And with the victory of democratic France, theEurope.
Now, however, the second half of the match begins because from the polls comes the victory of the Popular Front, the recovery of the Macronians and the defeat of the Lepenists but on paper, according to the first delirious declarations of Jean Luc Melenchon, no parliamentary majority emerges because the populist leader of LFI has ruled out any agreement between his group - which collected only 71 votes of the 180 of the Popular Front, just 7 more than the Socialist Party of Raphael Glucksman – and Macronian forces. But the games have only just begun and Macron will have to wisely choose the new prime minister to facilitate the formation of a reformist and pro-European majority. We are at the beginning of the second half of the match but we can breathe a sigh of relief. Good morning starts in the morning.
