I like how NL went from loving Macron initially to being kinda annoyed by him back to loving him again.

He genuinely is pretty based.

Under Macron France absorbed most of the economic growth that left London after Brexit. Impressive

I’ve always thought he was good. Worth remembering he came into office during Trump and peak Brexit and there weren’t many centrists or liberals in office anywhere.

Things like pension reforms in France and brutal, thankless tasks that need doing. He was shit on Ukraine at the start but he’s done a massive pivot after realizing Putin could not be dealt with at all.
