Emmanuel Macron — the self-styled saviour of Europe — has once again managed to turn the “centrist project” into a masterclass in political pyromania. While France burns with frustration, he’s busy lighting new constitutional fires, waving his technocratic torch like a man convinced the crowd just needs more enlightenment — not representation. 🕯️🔥

🏛️ From President to Principal: Detention in the Fifth Republic

Macron’s idea of democracy seems to be “you’re free to agree with me.” Whenever voters refuse to play along, he simply rewrites the rules, reshuffles the cabinet, or invokes obscure constitutional clauses that make Napoleon look chill. The French people say “Non!” — Macron hears “Maybe later.” It’s like being governed by a man who treats dissent as a scheduling error. 🗓️🤷‍♂️

His once-mighty centrist dream now limps along like a bureaucrat’s bicycle — all paperwork, no pedals. Every time he claims to be defending democracy, another democratic principle mysteriously vanishes. Parliament? Optional. Public consent? Negotiable. Accountability? On strike — permanently. 🚫🗳️

And while he’s busy performing political CPR on his collapsing party, the far right and far left sharpen their knives. The centre hasn’t held — it’s just been cordoned off by riot police. France’s founding ideals — Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité — are starting to sound more like Lip Service, Evasion, Fragilité.

The uncomfortable truth: Macron’s version of “stability” requires everyone else to stay perfectly still.
