Central parties seem lost in our post-crises reality where antisystemic parties of various colours suddenly have become important political forces.
These centre parties are losing control over the leading political narrative and are focusing on resisting attacks from these fringe groups.
However, liberals are benefiting from these divisions as their message is clear and without compromise. In Europe, the leader of the growing liberal option is French President Emmanuel Macron, whose vision to reform the European Union is becoming a reference point for the pro-European factions.
In his idea, titled European Renaissance, Macron calls for the consolidation of European integration around the eurozone, which, in the French President’s view, should extend economic integration with new instruments, such as tax harmonisation and the introduction of a European minimum wage.
