Every terrorist attack, every violent crime committed by an immigrant, every overcrowded school, raised taxes to support immigrants, will all be on Macron's shoulders. People will look at this as a large mistake and they will spend the next 5 years thinking they would be better off with Le Pen.
There is no way there won't be more gruesome terrorist attacks in France. I don't want to see it happen, I don't think anyone does that's not muslim, but the fact is we have someone in control of France who won't address the problem that most people are aware of but aren't allowed to speak of.
The real test of the next 5 years will be if Macron can bring in enough people to out-vote the natives who realize what is happening and the mistake that was made.

According to his emails, he wants to ramp up family reunification and stuff like that.
France is going to need a hardcore fascists dictator to become a normal country again. Sounds terrible, but I think it's the only way.

Does France's government have enough checks and balances to slow down or stop him? I'm not overly familiar with how it works.
