For modern, neoliberal western euro nations I think he's fairly centrist in today's climate relatively speaking.

He is not far right, but he is not centrist.

Pushed retirement age two years using bogus numbers.
Violent police free to mutilate peaceful protesters without consequences.
Dismantling of public institutions.
Reducing access to cheap medicine.
Privatization of public universities.
Etc.

He cannibalized right wing voters from UMP back in the day for a very good reason.

His program and his decisions are fairly anchored in typical right wing bullshit.

He is not centrist but people voting for him are

If you look at Macron's program, his ideas, his realisations and think 'hmm, yes, I shall vote for him.', you're not a centrist, you're right wing.

Right wing people tend to be rather dumb, yes.
