He thinks he's a genius. In his own words, this early election was a grenade thrown into the legs of his opponents.
It was supposed to fracture the left, traditionally unable to agree on a common program. And it was supposed to kill the right, which is struggling to find political space between his party (authoritarian center-right) and the far right.
He thought that only his party would have the time to organize itself to campaign and present itself as the savior against the far right, which would have restored his legitimacy, which had just been called into question by the European elections.
I would be astounded at his complete failure to accurately assess the political landscape, but I’ve seen some shit so I’m just annoyed about it and a bit suspicious that it was his intention all along to work with the far right.
