Wise move. If we would have done the same here in the USA we would be living different lives now.

He’s too inexperienced. But I am sure the party will be able to spin this.

Yeah, he’s still in his 20’s apparently? That’s crazy, “young” in politics usually means ~40.

One down, many to go.

Well done, France.
