Macron’s approval ratings have collapsed after several political crises. The collapse of his Ensemble (Together) coalition has meant the rise of the far right and the extreme left coalitions.
Both the far-right coalition the Rassemblement National (RN) and the leftwing Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP) are ahead of his centrist coalition in the opinion polls. The rise of the far right has alarmed France and the EU as it could upset long-held policy on Ukraine.
Macron told voters “I trust you,” in a ‘letter to the French’ published on Sunday. He sought to cast his camp, lagging in the polls, as the last hope for stability. Macron added: “I’m not blind: I’m aware of the democratic malaise.”
Macron also reiterated that he would stay in office until his term ends in 2027 regardless of the outcome of the election.
