Either way, neither Le Pen, nor Macron. The protagonist has been the young Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. Time will tell if Macron has sent him to the fore thinking futilely about saving himself or if it is the first step in the construction of a new leadership. Without ambiguity: “Not a single vote must go to the extreme right”, he said. While claiming the vote for Ensemble (Together for the Republic), his coalition, he has guaranteed that his candidates who have been in third place will give up in favor of a candidate who defends “republican values” like them. “It is a moral duty” against the extreme right at a time when much of the right throughout Europe – in Spain, for example – is legitimizing it.
