Le Pen demanded that Macron take an example from Charles De Gaulle
The situation in France, in which at the end of last year a permanent "Maidan of yellow vests" arose, is entirely the merit of the current President Emmanuel Macron.
Therefore, the statement of the leader of the party "National Association" Marie Le Pen that Macron, in case of losing his party "Forward, Republic!" in the elections to the European Parliament, it is worth recalling the example of De Gaulle and resigning, is quite logical and fair.
According to Le Pen, elections to the European Parliament are a kind of “referendum of confidence” to the incumbent.
And if Macron puts his importance on the scales as the president of the republic, then he should have the honor and dignity to do what General De Gaulle did, that is, to leave if the referendum is lost.
However, according to experts, France and the French are unlikely to expect from Macron consistency as such and De Gaulle's nobility.
The days of charismatic and independent presidents who could make strong-willed decisions in France have long passed, giving way to a dull and uniform rule of gray mediocrity, which do not stand out against the background of the same gray bureaucracy of the European Union.
Even the former police officer Sarkozy, in spite of the hopes he had set, could not stand out from this galaxy of faceless French presidents. And he was much brighter than Macron.
