En Marche

En Marche, the political movement founded by Emmanuel Macron in April 2016, is the subject of renewed analysis as it marks its tenth anniversary. Articles reflect on the impact and legacy of "macronisme" after a decade. While Macron initially presented himself as a clean and modern alternative, some observers argue that En Marche has failed to deliver on its initial promise, leading to conceptual emptiness and contributing to the rise of the far right. Others, like Marc Ferracci, a close associate of Macron, believe that the ideas of macronisme still hold relevance for addressing France's challenges, though some reforms were not ambitious enough. Despite initial aims to overcome French "blockages", Macron's presidency is now seen by some as stagnant, with the political landscape more fragmented than before. The anniversary prompts reflection on the movement's successes, failures, and future direction, particularly with presidential elections approaching.
