The only scenario where macron totally fails is if the far right ends up winning.

You seem to be under the impression that Macron is fine with the left winning.

He's definitely not: he's been viciously attacking the left for years now, and has just last Sunday accused them of being antisemitic, antirepublican and antiparlentarist.

His Minister of Justice said in an interview that, in case of a duel between the left and the far-right during the election runoffs, he would vote for neither.

His prime minister keeps saying in Interviews that the left represents chaos for the country.

What? How did you mix up everything like that?
