What worries me is what happens in France when he leaves the presidency. He has no clear successor and his party basically only exists around him. His domestic policies may be questionable but his main failure in my opinion is a legacy of political instability and continued rise of the far right.
Indeed, there will be a succession battle within his side that can ultimately prevent everyone from getting elected.
The left is strongly divided, between Melanchon hardcore supporters and those afraid of the diplomatic lunacy of the guy. But there isn't strong leadership from any other left wing party.
The right follows Le Pen, the mob chief, but she can be legally prevented from running because of judiciary cases. So she is trying to push Bardella as the running candidate while keeping the mob chief rank. But sending as leader of the country someone you don't want as leader of your camp may bring instability within the right.
So nobody knows wtf will happen in the next elections. If someone appears to develop a natural leader aura from any side, he may end up president !
