In the words of the left-wing journalist Edwy Plenel, who recently interviewed Macron — who was conspicuously without a tie — in a televised debate: “There is discontent everywhere.”

According to one poll released this past week, 52 percent of French voters described Macron’s election as a “bad thing.”

Another new poll found that only 42 percent of voters ultimately approve of his policies. But if there were to be another presidential election this month, Macron — despite the economic changes he has imposed and the crippling strikes they have inspired — would still win handily against Marine Le Pen, the far-right candidate he defeated a year ago.

Macron remains a bulwark against the far-right. He is at once an avowed social democrat and perhaps the last vocal defender of a Western world order under siege from within and without.

“He’s a dam against the rise of illiberal democracy in Europe and in the world,” said Dominique Moïsi, a foreign policy expert who informally advised Macron’s presidential campaign last year. “He’s not a threat to democracy — he’s the last one to articulate a case for liberal classical democracy.”

Not all of his European counterparts see him this way. They dislike his plans to limit the French Parliament’s powers, but also a new security law that allows French police forces to arrest and detain suspects without judicial oversight.

“Where is ‘liberty’ when your citizens can be placed under house arrest and searched under mere suspicions of justice?” asked Philippe Lamberts, a Belgian deputy in the European Parliament, after Macron’s Tuesday address.

Macron — who once likened himself to “Jupiter,” the supreme god of the Roman pantheon and the unchallenged lord of the skies — did not hide his displeasure.
