This is an absurd slippery slope falacy.

  If this was happening in isolation, that could be. But it's also happening in a general atmosphere of extreme police violence (6 months of constant protests, 1 dead, 5 hands ripped off, 23 eyes gouged, 3000 persons jailed for no discernible reason), authoritarian policy, and extending surveillance -- and no proper counter-power, making Macron almost indiscernible from his distinctly fascistic, official main opponent. Later this week, in European elections, prepare to see a landslide of far-right parties of various racist, xenophobic flavours in all countries. A slippery slope? Looks like an oily slide into chaos indeed.
