@chiffchaff @cjwatson yeah, they can always say that they're "just quoting what was said", but when you don't put words into context they lose all meaning.
The French news media has been calling the governing alliance of the neoliberals (Macron's party and historical centrists) and the conservatives ("les Républicains", whatever remains of Chirac and Sarkozy's party, after around half of the party splintered to ally with Le Pen) the centrist bloc, while their first (and pretty much only) non-budget-related legislation proposal was an immigration bill, to the applause of Le Pen.
Of course after his government got censured Macron has followed his usual modus operandi of assuming no blame and just berating the People on TV, saying we're all too dumb to understand his logic, while outright lying. A typical Wednesday in French politics.
We're all a bit shell-shocked, I haven't seen anyone who's vaguely left leaning even attempt to guess what kind of nonsense government/PM he's going to nominate next. We're just so, so tired of this nonsense.
