"He doesn't understand how much he is hated": Mathilde Panot reacts to Emmanuel Macron's potential candidacy in 2032

"Emmanuel Macron is a president who belongs to the past," according to Mathilde Panot , president of the "LFI-NFP" group in the National Assembly. A guest on BFM Politique this Sunday, July 6, she reacted strongly to the President of the Republic's comments made the day before at the "Youth with Macron" rally.

Indeed, he made a surprise appearance on Saturday at this meeting of young activists, renamed "Jeunes en marche," assuring that he would "need them in two years, in five years, in ten years." He added: "Because you will be there, and because you are counting on me, I will be there with you. Together, we will not give up."

For Mathilde Panot, Emmanuel Macron "doesn't understand how much he is hated in the country." She adds: "He doesn't understand that the youth of this country are overwhelmingly anti-racist, anti-capitalist, thirst for social justice, and are overwhelmingly feminist and aware of environmental issues. That's why half of them voted for the New Popular Front last June and July."

According to the Ipsos-CESI École d'ingénieurs political barometer for La Tribune Dimanche in June 2025, Emmanuel Macron's popularity rating continues to decline with 21% favorable opinions, "approaching its lowest historical level (20% in December 2018, during the Yellow Vest movement)."

While today's figures may not necessarily be tomorrow's, for Mathilde Panot, Emmanuel Macron has no place in the future. "He still hasn't understood that his policies were defeated three times at the polls , that he will go down in history as the most authoritarian president of the Fifth Republic, but also as the one who brought France back to the state of a hungry country in the seventh economic power in the world, with one in three French people regularly going without meals to feed their children. "

Legally, Emmanuel Macron has the right to run again in 2032. Indeed, the Constitution simply prohibits serving more than two consecutive terms. Despite this message to the Jeunes en Marche, he has, so far, never officially stated that he wishes to run again.
