There is some electoral calculation in Macron's rhetoric about Algerian history (which is laughably off btw), but don't underestimate how much those views are prevalent in parts of France's policy and political elites.
I'm always struck by how Macron seems such a product culturally of the late Mitterrand era. The difference between Mitterrand and Macron is that social media circulates every one of Macron's takes on France's neo-colonial sphere much faster to a much wider audience
Something weirdly visionary about this Inconnus sketch where the PS candidate could be Macron today. It's from 1989
