The fun part is that it is absolutely legal and constitutional to do so. Generally the french president is a de jure dictator and has all legal means to become a de facto one very easily. In that case, the french president is the one who decides alone who is the prime minister. The theory that he had to pick a NFP prime minister is rooted in an unofficial tradition that was upheld by his predecessors but only because they thought it was a smart move to play compromises. Macron doesn't need any real changes to have full power, he's simply the first one to actually abuse the full potential of the constitution
A lasting gift from DeGaulle
Idk if Stalin every tried but not shooting DeGaulle was a rar Stalin L.
DeGaulle being rabidly anti-Anglo was his only redeeming quality.
Well DeGaulle was better left alive as a wedge between the allies, Churchill hated him so much he preferred Vichy France.
Did churchill ever meet a fascist he did,kt like, though?
It's funny how it's always the liberals who lay the political groundwork for fascists taking power.
And that's a wrap. Liberals will 100% support.
Exactly, legalism proving to be the root of fascist takeover again
