A Critique of European Politics
Emmanuel Macron has offered a perspective that calls into question the direction of current European politics. Political discourses, both in Catalonia and elsewhere on the continent, are often disconnected from common sense and reality. The traditional parties have become a slab and a danger, moving away from the needs of the citizens. This criticism has been reflected in the negative reactions received by the French president when he called elections to assess support for his policy.
The Need for Reorganization and Reflection
Macron has taken steps to protect his legitimacy and forced parties and voters to rethink and reflect on their limits. While his task may seem like a failure amid the challenges he faces, it is important to recognize that history does not move in a straight line. This situation has highlighted the need for reorganization and reflection both in France and in Europe.
The Vision of Europe and the Institutional Situation
Macron has a clear vision of Europe and his country, despite the current serious institutional decay. Facing this context, he has sought to implement his ideas with courage. This view contrasts with traditional conservative forces, which have lost influence since the 18th century. Both the supporters of tradition and the heirs of the French Revolution face significant challenges today.
The Path to a Stable Future
Macron has acknowledged that stable solutions will take time to arrive, and that democratic leaders must be able to navigate with courage amid profound changes. Although it has not completely saved France, it has managed to defy the interests that try to reduce democracy to a theater of single parties. This criticism can also be applied to other regions, such as Catalonia, where traditional parties continue to cling to clichés that only serve their own interests.
The Importance of Electoral Support and Citizen Participation
Macron has understood the importance of electoral support and the need to involve citizens in their decisions and challenges. This vision can also be applied to other contexts, such as that of Catalonia, where the ability of the parties to negotiate and involve the grassroots in profound changes is crucial for the future of the country. Thus, Macron’s vision of European politics and the current situation invites us to reflect on the importance of reorganization, citizen participation and the need to overcome worn-out political formulas.
