I've read that Macron's party is responsible for the rise of Le Pen through use of the "pied piper" strategy similarly to how the Democrats supported Trump in the 2016 primary because they thought having just an extremist would make people feel obligated to vote for them however conservative they were because at least they weren't openly fascist. If that's true, the resurgance of the actual factual French Nazi party is Macron's fault as well.
