Apologies for my ignorance on French political ideology, but how similar are Mélechon's views to that of the current President Hollande? I'm interested in determining whether or not Hollande's low approval ratings might deter voters from choosing another candidate that is too similar?

Because that's how you win. "when they go low, we go high" doesn't work. Russia needs to be taken down a notch, not left to become bolder. Macron has a golden opportunity to unite the EU against a common enemy, Russia which would make both France and the EU better off and more united. It's the one thing the EU has never had which is why it's always been so factionalized and weak. Or you could just spend the next 5 years getting fuck-all done while you pat yourselves on the back for having the moral high ground.

It's not about not firing without X weeks of delay, its about the absolutely insane thing some people want to implement where employers do not need to provide a valid reason to fire someone. Macron hasn't gone that radical yet but many liberal parties actively defend this which is insane radicalism. Also nice joke about saving X weeks, like most jobs don't barely pay enough to make rent and basic expenses and then only because there is a minimum wage, which guess what, radical capitalists also want to get rid of.
