You even forget the danger here. Like in France, where they voted in the right to let Macron and the police forces delete someone's French citizenship without judicial oversight. And that's ... kind of OK? I still don't agree with it, but yeah these people have shown that they're not going to abuse it on a large scale.

But with 10% more votes, this power will go into the hands of Le Pen ... and everyone, including Macron, knows what will happen.

(hell, I kind of suspect this is intentional on Macron's part. He wants to get re-elected by making the alternative to electing him catastrophic. It worked last time, sure, but obviously it needs to become more catastrophic if he's to be reelected)

I don't even know what you are referring to. There has been no change in the possibility to remove the French citizenship under Macron, and the last time a change was attended it was supposed to be by a court together with a sentence for terrorism, not by the police, and it was proposed by the left under Hollande, and Macron opposed it.

Also Macron cannot be re-elected in the next elections as there is a term limit.
