"Right wing policies" has a broader meaning than "lovely liberalism" to me. I don't intend to defend that dude, but he is no Fillon, that's all.

Here is Macron's cabinet: The economy and budget ministers are right-wingers. The labour minister is a former executive at Danone, Dassault and Orange (among others). Can you smell the coming austerity? Bonus fun fact: there's one black woman. Minister of sports.

Lightning Lord posted:What does a Minister of Sports do? Ensure football is on TV on time? It's a position in several countries. They are a sort of minister of culture, but specifically for stuff pertaining to athletics. It's hard to pinpoint the responsibilities of that position off the top of my head, but I'd say they do stuff like represent the country on international athletic fora, promote and organise state-sponsored athletics competitions, review and propose legislation that pertains to sports, and so on.

A Buttery Pastry posted:The Minister of Sports has a wide array of responsibilities, from importing talent from the rest of the world (primarily French West Africa) to promoting major sports events like the Tour de France. It might not be an as obviously important position some of the others, but it is vital if France is to remain competitive in this arena, and thus a matter of national pride. Interesting that this is a position in the government, it seems like something that would be totally left to private industry in America.

Lightning Lord posted:What does a Minister of Sports do? Ensure football is on TV on time? Actually because FIFA likes to force politics away from football(when it suits them ofc), most sports ministries/secretaries in Europe have a hands free approach to the goings of football, usually leaving the national federations and club associations deal with that nonsense. Government and government representatives only step in if things get really out of hand(usually on issues pertaining to violence). This of course is not at all responsible to the rampant corruption and shady business that goes on in European football.

In the US, most of the governmental duties of the French Minister of Sports is instead done through the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Commerce, and state-level athletics/sports commissions.

It's a good thing Macron wrapped himself in the EU flag and played the Ode to Joy during his inauguration. When he's finished loving the working class for the next 5 years it will make a great soundtrack for the attack ads Le Pen will run.

I don't think Le Pen or any Le Pen-ite is ever going to win the presidency. What's going to happen is that she'll be a contender and pull the rhetoric on issues like immigration and race to the right, but the French will never become majority fascist or not turn out in sufficient numbers to keep her out. Elections like this one will become the new normal for a while, probably until Le Pen retires/is couped, with things continually getting worse and worse and worse. If there's one thing you can bet on in Western European politics it's the general hatred for and fear of actual meaningful change.

The "do this or LePen 2022" argument is a very lazy argument used by people who don't want to actually argue their policy proposals but rather go "if you don't support us Nazis will take power". In my opinion its a terrible argument, because Trump was elected in spite or even because of Obamacare and the Obama stimulus.

Flowers For Algeria posted:Man, where were you 2 weeks ago when Macron was all "vote for me or else Le Pen 2017"? Which was true. It's not unrealistic that the French presidency in 2022 will again be decided in the first round, with the winner getting a lay-up against LePen in the second round, even if Macron is about as popular as Hollande.
