Macron’s strategist says goal is to reshape fracturing EU politics

Michel Rose, (2018), “Macron’s strategist says goal is to reshape fracturing EU politics”, Reuters, 31 Οκτωβρίου

Europe’s fragmenting political landscape is an opportunity for Emmanuel Macron to blow apart Brussels’ traditional left-right duopoly in next year’s European election, the newly appointed head of the French president’s EU campaign said.

In his first interview since his appointment this week as top strategist in Macron’s En Marche party, Stéphane Séjourné says the campaign will “shake up the system”, tapping into growing disaffection among the mainstream left and right.

“We see political instability more like an opportunity than a constraint,” Séjourné told Reuters in a cafe a block away from the Elysee Palace, where he has spent the past 18 months as Macron’s behind-the-scenes political adviser.
