That is not entirely true. Le Pen just brought down the french government yesterday. She has some power as a King maker in the current configuration.
But she does not govern nor does she want to. However, the left wing coalition won the most seats in the national assembly but Macron refused to appoint a prime mister which was from this coalition as it is normally customary.
In July, he called on the left wing coalition to safeguard democracy by instructing his party to drop out of the races in which they had no chance to win so that the left could win these races against the National Rally.
Now he saying that the left wing coalition is extremist and that the National Rally is extremist just as well and that he won't have a government with either of them. Basically he just told half of the population to get stuffed.
Then people wonder how democracy dies, that is how it dies.
We can disagree with the right and with the left but if the will of the people is not respected, then the consequences will be dramatic.
