After the European elections in which the far right in France got a really high proportion of votes, Macron called a snap election, meaning that the parliament has been reelected. Many were shocked about this as Macron apparently expected the people to now “face the consequences” and “stop protest voting” as he shows what this could lead to(?) but people called it unresponsible to expect that now they would get different results in the national election.
Anyways, against expectations the left was the surprise winner of this election and not the far right (which is better than most expected). But as @[email protected] points out, it’s also not really what he (probably) wanted (getting a majority himself -> he’s center to center-right).
Thank you for taking the time. I knew some of this info, but I certainly don’t know the party names. But from your description of how things played out, I could figure out which one is which in the meme.
