In picking Barnier, Macron has put his – and France’s – fate in Le Pen’s hands | Paul Taylor

After months of dithering, the French president’s choice of prime minister leaves him more vulnerable than ever, says Paul Taylor of the European Policy Centre

Barnier has been appointed after Macron repeatedly stalled on appointing a new prime minister.

He's a member of the Sarkozy Gaullist conservative party The Republicans that managed to muster a stunning result of under 7% of votes in the most recent elections.

I don't wanna say I told you so but I did comment "Wer hat uns verraten" about this situation a little while back and whaddaya know - Macron has just had his Paul von Hindenburg moment.

Shit's about to kick off. Let's hope that May 1968 was just the practice run for the French people and this time around they're gonna pull it off.

    You either give up or make them listen

    Let's see how based the French actually are vs what they claim... standing by...
