Macron has governed very much like a traditional, pro-European Republican in France.

Really? That's not what I have read. Isn't he the guy who is trying to raise the cost of gas to astronomic levels to satisfy the "Paris accord" crowd?

Yes. He supported raising the cost of gas twelve cents per gallon (.03 Euros per liter), in order to fulfill a treaty supported by the Republicans of France. Then suspended the hike. At the same time, he has also pushed through massive deregulation the likes of which the Republicans never dared propose. He also seeks to reduce corporate taxes from 33% to 25%, to remove investment income from the wealth tax, cut civil servants by 120,000 and exempt 18 million households from residence taxes.
