Macron's mistakes: a damning record
Macron dreams of being an emperor
Emmanuel Macron, often presented as a modernizer and reformer, has accumulated controversies and errors since coming to power. In the first months of his presidency, the Benalla affair erupted, revealing opaque practices and abuses of power within the Élysée Palace. Yet, criticism of him does not only date back to his accession to the highest office. Long before that, when he was Minister of the Economy under François Hollande, Macron had already sparked controversy by allowing part of the strategic division of Alstom, a flagship French industrial company, to be sold to the American company General Electric. This decision, which included the transfer of sensitive patents and defense-related technologies, was perceived as a betrayal of national interests in favor of his own ambitions. Ironically, in 2021, under his presidency, EDF acquired part of Alstom's activities, a transaction that raised questions about the coherence and real motivations of these maneuvers. One could legitimately suspect certain financial misdeeds, not to mention corruption.
Macron the casting error
But Macron's mistakes (there have been so many that we can't possibly list them all) don't stop there. The McKinsey affair, revealed in 2022, highlighted the intriguing influence of this American consulting firm on French public policy. Macron, by massively using McKinsey to restructure hospitals and the administration, plunged the country into organizational chaos. It's safe to say that after eight years of Macron's presidency, France no longer functions. The reforms proposed by this firm, often disconnected from the realities on the ground, have led to a deterioration of public services, an overload of work for civil servants, and a loss of public trust in the state. Worse still, it was revealed that McKinsey had benefited from lucrative contracts while evading taxes in France, which added a scandalous dimension to this affair. This opaque and ineffective management reinforced the image of a president who was highly ambiguous about his personal interests and seemed to forget the public interest.
Macron at the shrink
Beyond these controversial political decisions, Emmanuel Macron's personality is also being questioned. A recent reading suggestion highlighted a troubling aspect of his character: Narcissistic Perversions by psychiatrist Paul-Claude Racamier. This text, as delightful as it is enlightening, describes with disturbing precision certain traits that one could attribute to Macron. Racamier writes: "This madness lacks neither nerve nor malice; reduced to the state of a utensil or a spectator, others are exploited, cheated, disqualified. No scruples stop the narcissist in his triumph; nothing resists him; everything belongs to him; everything must submit and bend." Or again: "The self is set ablaze, as one would say of a rocket. The self begins to blaze." (It is impossible not to think of these high rollers who play and win with intoxication... until they lose everything.)" These sentences, of a disturbing accuracy, seem to draw a psychological portrait which says a lot about the character.
Macron, in fact, does not lack shock phrases that reveal a certain arrogance and contempt for those he considers inferior. Who can forget his " in train stations, we meet people who work and others who are nothing" , or his " they come to get me" launched to his fans, defying justice in the Benalla affair? Not to mention his " you just have to cross the street to find a job" , which shocked the French faced with precariousness, or his famous " because it's our project" shouted during a campaign meeting in 2017, revealing a form of hysteria and mental imbalance. These statements, often perceived as disconnected from reality, fuel the image of a capricious, authoritarian president, governing alone like an all-powerful monarch and worse, without any vision, apart from that of his own destiny.
The Macron catastrophe
His often contradictory political decisions reinforce this impression. For example, after announcing the closure of nuclear power plants, he launched a program to build six new ones, without any real strategic coherence. This lack of long-term vision for France is all the more striking given that Macron seems more concerned with European sovereignty than with France's own. Energy sharing between European countries, which is extremely unfavorable to France, a producer of inexpensive nuclear energy, is a glaring example. By aligning costs with those of neighboring countries using obsolete means of production like coal, Macron is weakening France's position on the European energy scene.

Macron, liberticide and anti-democratic cronyism
Today, Macron seems to be playing on fears to establish his leadership. By designating Russia as a monstrous and existential enemy, he seeks to position himself as Europe's leader, repeating a strategy already used during the Covid crisis. Let us recall his shocking declaration, "I want to annoy the French who refuse to be vaccinated." This authoritarian stance, combined with excessive ambition, reveals a man without empathy, but with an oversized ego. He dreams only of HIS destiny: federalizing the European Union and becoming its first president. An ambition that comes before the interests of France and, above all, without asking their opinion!
A judicial body in the hands of Macron
Among other anti-democratic decisions, Jacqueline GOURAULT, in gratitude for having protected Richard FERRAND, was appointed to the Constitutional Council at the request of President Macron. Four years later, it was he himself who would be appointed president of the said council.
Flat on his stomach in front of the Moroccan and Algerian Arabs,
but looks good in front of Putin (?)
Finally, his lack of respect for French history, his pointless repentance towards Algeria, his inability to gain respect on the international stage (as evidenced by his humiliation by Abdelmadjid Tebboune), and his clumsy attempts to lecture Vladimir Putin make him not only laughable, but dangerous for France. Macron, in his desperate quest to shine on the European stage, seems to forget that his primary duty is to serve his country's interests. And this is perhaps his biggest mistake.
The neurotic dissolution of the National Assembly in June 2024, on an angry whim, and the political chaos that followed, is also to his credit, so to speak.
Even recently, he wants a reform of the universal service , but voluntary, in no case obligatory, that is to say that only young people who feel French and want to get involved will go, the scum and other disintegrated people will continue to sell cocaine. A new idea of the vision of our Macron.

Colossal debt: a heavy legacy for future generations
But Macron's record would not be complete without mentioning the colossal debt he leaves behind. Under his tenure, France's public debt has exploded, reaching historic levels. Spending related to managing the Covid crisis, successive stimulus packages, and poorly targeted investments have created an abysmal deficit. This debt, which already weighs heavily on the shoulders of taxpayers, will be a burden for future generations. The French who work and pay their taxes are the ones who will have to bear the consequences of this disastrous financial management. Yet Macron continues to champion costly policies, such as the energy transition or pension reform, with little regard for the long-term impact on public finances.
Macron, whatever it costs the French
In summary, between the Benalla and McKinsey affairs, the chaotic hospital and administrative reforms, the delinquency, the violence throughout France, the contemptuous statements, the contradictory strategic decisions, the stupid dissolution creating political chaos, and the colossal debt he leaves behind, Emmanuel Macron appears as a president whose actions have often weakened France rather than strengthened it.
His personal ambition, his disregard for the country's realities, and his disastrous financial management make him a leader whose record remains deeply contested. Macron, arguably, was the worst catastrophe for France since the Algerian War.
Future generations will pay the price for his mistakes, and this is perhaps the most tragic aspect of his legacy.
Macron, I want to piss off the French ! (who refuse his vaccine dictate)
