Yeah, calling to vote for Macron was pure opportunism. What I find encouraging is that the left is building dual power in France where they have serious political presence that’s coupled with direct action such as strikes and protests. If this movement grows then it could lead to real systemic change.

I think the left organizing into a serious political force is an unambiguously good thing. You have to start somewhere, and this is progress. Of course it would be better to have more principled leadership, but you have to work with what you’ve got and try to do better going forward.
What credibility was he losing when he called for a tactical vote which favors him the most? If the vote is only between Macron and Le Pen and the poll were so close you could not risk to not vote, it is obviously better for Mélenchon to call to vote for Macron and therefor against Le Pen.
Its a pure tactical move and I think also a more practicle solution to have Macron as president as opposed to Le Pen for Mélenchon but especially for NUPES

Why do you think that Mélenchon lost his credibility?
And it sounds like you’d rather want Le Pen in charge instead of Macron, is that correct?

And I interpret the situation that Mélenchon rather wants Macron to be in charge instead of Le Pen. I don’t see why he loses his credibility because of that stance.
