Macron has to become President of The EU. Thus France would be rid of him and the EU would have a strong leader.

I don’t know how much French like their president, but his recent efforts to reunite the EU and engagement in international affairs are at least admirable. I’m fine if it this in the end means billions for France’s military industry - hard to disagree with him…

I'm not proud to admit it, since I have an innate loathing of the French, but I like France's attitude lately

I have to admit that I have always been very interested in the France and its culture. I don’t know why they dislike Macron, because when I see it from here, he seems to be very decent leader. My only complaint is that french is very difficult language to me.
