Summary Dominique Pagani sees Emmanuel Macron less as a person than as a function: a "puppet" that capital "pulled out of its hat", and that finance will replace with someone else, funded by the same people1 . He places him in a continuity running from Giscard to Hollande and Mitterrand. He makes him the culmination of the "extreme centre": calling oneself both left and right, and setting progressives against populists, amounts to eliminating any alternative2 . He points to words that have been twisted: the "war on finance", a book titled "Revolution", the "sad passions". He links him to the destruction of public services, including hospitals and schools3 . As early as 2021, he predicts that the far right will rally to him; in 2024, he notes that Bardella talks like him4 . From 2022 on, he stresses the war against Russia and pacifists being called "capitulators". He also speaks of the failure of his policy in the Sahel, where he considers him discredited5 .
