Macron has, for the most part, framed the Rassemblement National as the only alternative political force to himself, and this strategy has directly or indirectly propelled it into French political life like never before. It’s Macron who put this party on a pedestal — he is primarily responsible for this.

His intention is to have a neo-Bonapartist democracy, not at all a centrist strategy of coalitions in the context of parliamentary life.
