Misleading title. From the article itself:
The president was reportedly responding to a proposal by far-right leader Jordan Bardella, who was suggesting France switch to a single seven-year presidential term.
I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day ? That's probably the only thing I can agree with
this far right fuckBardella. We should have a single term 7 years term to avoid what we have lived with Macron : not much on the first half of the first term, campaigning for the second term after that and now an absolute madness of authoritarianism, force pushed unpopular and unnecessary reforms and the further destruction of the very fabric of this country, because he's got nothing to loose anymore. That or a new republic that would give less power to a single person, like a parliamentary system.
Wtf happened to this guy? Wasn’t he reasonably moderate? Wasn’t he supposed to be the Biden/Trudeau of France? Can someone explain why he’s dancing this dance?
