Saturday University: The end of Macronism

What French President Emmanuel Macron achieved and why he failed Macron's "Jupiter-like" style of power aims to break up the left-right system and reform France profoundly through centralized control. Despite original promises to allow more direct democratic procedures, a vertical understanding of politics dominates, often bypassing parliamentary debates by means of decrees.

The erosion of his parliamentary group and the involvement of political newcomers have led to a "Balkanization" of parliament, which is increasingly blocking the implementation of the reform agenda.
