The political scientist and researcher at the Paris Institute of Political Sciences believes that, with the early elections, the French president intended to avoid the union of the entire left. He also believes that Kylian Mbappé’s call to vote is an example of the great mobilization of the French.
Interviewed in the news program ‘Ganbara’ on Radio Euskadi, the political scientist and researcher at the Paris Institute of Political Sciences, Gaspard Estrada, assured that the decision to bring forward the legislative elections has been a “risky” bet on the part of Emmanuel Macron. What’s more, he has described it as “suicidal” for the French president. Estrada added that, with this decision, given the small margin that existed, Macron intended to “avoid” the union of the entire left and “thus attract his electorate,” he said, “just the opposite of what has happened.” “. “Macron is the main victim,” he declared.
“The French have understood that the future of the country and of all of Europe is at stake,” said Estrada, recalling that the polls predict “a significant increase” in participation. In this context, he has framed the manifesto against the extreme right that some 180 French athletes have signed or the call to vote made by several footballers, such as, for example, Kylian Mbappé.
