Macron's stance seems just a way to appease the hard left. It doesn't really matter if his declarations are scientifically correct or not. It is the most appealing course for him. He literally doesn't have to take any action, but to shout out some sentences raising awareness of Brazil and putting the blame on their hard right president, and, voilá, free points next to the French hard-left electorate (which he really needs at the present, after the continued demonstrations from the yellow vests). Something similar already happened with Merkel (although that time, it wasn't just lip service, there were policies and effort to be made). Merkel was hated by the hard-left in Europe, after the way she managed the crisis, and the huge social issues the policies she forced, created when they were imposed to Southern Europe. Suddenly, she became a defender of basically unchecked migration, and the hard-left completely stop doing her opposition and even supporting her.
