No opinion on Macron's rightness (I think he's so weak as to be unable to have a position, but that's neither here nor there).

I think you misattribute, everything you cited was there before him and he had no leverage to change any of it. EU is left, FR is very left, and anyone elected president in FR can't do shit.

Now, if you task an LLM to skim hot news you'll get a distorted rendition of a projected image which has zero to do with actual policy.

"EU is left". Haha, good joke. This shows how much the US and the audience of HN has shifted to the right.

Haha nice catch. In EU there is no left or right, only reelections by scaremongering. Also 75% effective tax rate, not including VAT.
