To contrast France's work ethic, South Korea was going to expand their work week to 69 hours.
Backlash kept that from happening and they're still at 52 hours...

Macron dissolves their Parliament and calls for snap elections.
Long story short: Far right candidates are kicking everyone else's asses and his party barely trends above the socialists. This move is essentially a Hail Mary to stay in power or he gets to walk early.
If you're worried about extreme far right policies, know this:
Left takes power, thinks it's a referendum from the public to do anything they want. A few years later, they take things WAY too far and the public votes right. Right takes power, thinks it's a referendum from the public to do anything they want. A few years later, they take things WAY too far and the public votes left. Repeat forever.
