Replacing the infobox photo

edit

It looks like the photo File:Macron Michel 2023 (cropped).jpg was nominated for deletion, so it's better to just replace this photo File:Emmanuel Macron 2022.png because it complies with the license and better. Baqotun0023 (talk) 03:37, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Label

edit

Recently, the label "centrist" was added to the lede. This politician, initially described as centre-left, then as centrist, and then often as centre-right, is on the one hand more accurately described as liberal, and on the other hand is not simply "classable" in the lede. His political positions are complex, so I am for removing this label and adding a short description in the section "Political Positions". An entire article Political positions of Emmanuel Macron describes this complexity (Though the article would need to be updated with newer sources in French, The French Wikipedia article is better in this regard with the section "Ligne politique" describing him very well). Macron himself wants to be "above" any position on left, right and centre.

The French Wikipedia does not "class" Macron as centre or left or right in the lede, and to do so is making a caricature out of his positions. 80.187.115.67 (talk) 19:33, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't know if a consensus has ever been reached on this topic, but that would be helpful. Truc Bizarre (talk) 06:05, 17 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

"reforms to labour laws, taxation, and pensions"

edit

"During his presidency, Macron has overseen several reforms to labour laws, taxation, and pensions." I think we should say "modifications to labour laws etc." "Reform" implies an action that improves things and makes them better.

I always flinch when I see the stock phrase "neoliberal reforms" thrown around in journalism because it usually means making the bankers happier and squeezing the middle and working classes. Pascalulu88 (talk) 13:45, 5 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
