      The president can appoint who he wants, but if the parliament doesn't approve his choice, they will censor the government.

      What that means is that he negotiated with the far-right to get them into his majority and not to vote the censorships, in exchange for who knows what. The liberals are scratched and the masks have completely fallen, there are dark times ahead.

        I thought Le Pen refused to do anything with Macron. This is not good… this scenario feels familiar…

          Marine Le Pen is a scum like her father Jean-Marie Le Pen

          Yeah it's probably really bad. He can't keep his government with only the Ensemble + LR alliance, so he must have given her something big enough to make her change her mind, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered appointing someone that would have just been censored right away by the opposition. Very scary that we have no idea what the deal was.
