Because, well, the left coalition came out ahead of the vote but then started to loose ground to political shenanigans.
War is not over but a significant battle was lost.
Because we only have a relative majority and now Macron is teaming up with the hard right (not the far right, the other right right that is not center right… Yeah, too much right is wrong) to deprive us of any path to government. Shit sucks. But it could have sucked way harder.
Cuddling up to the hard right might look like a strategical move but it never works. Normalising them only shifts the discussion further to the right.
And let’s face it… in this post-factual time where all that matters is the narratives, giving them a platform will only help to brain-wash more people into believing right-wing fake-solutions to actual problems.
Why’d you put “win” in quotes?

It’s also a strategic moderate move to keep the hard right from merging with Reform.
I’m hoping the left wing parties aren’t locked out and still able to get progress made.

Couldn’t agree more.
