Macron Takes Aim at European Politics
During his first year in office, French President Emmanuel Macron outlined a series of proposals for reforming European institutions; now he is launching a campaign to shake up the European Parliament election in 2019. Through it all, he has adhered to a coherent philosophy of how politics in the twenty-first century should work.

Though the official rollout has now been postponed, Macron’s latest project remains central to his presidency and to his conception of power.
