I wonder what's the strategy here. If I had to guess I'd say he wants to see them fail miserably, so they lose support as quickly as they got it. I'm not sure that's a good idea tho.

It's a common strategy for the president to nominate it's most dangerous opposant. During the next election, this one could not criticize a government where he was.

However, Macron shouldn't have the right to present himself a third time. Does he get ride of this limitation ? Is it actually a conviction move, to help the far right ? Or is their a greatest interest of his class to get even more authoritarian regimes ?

In any cases, we gently rioting yesterday after this announcement.

I'm loving the phrase "gently rioting". Is that a translation for "protesting"?

"Undeclared demonstration with call to insurrection, avoiding the cops, and burning outside bin" It's intense for a protest, but lite for a riot ¯\(o_o)/¯
