According to him, these two events became a test for him.
“The Ukrainian president must have covered his face with his hands after watching Joe Biden’s incoherent speech in the televised debate with Donald Trump,” the analyst noted, adding that the latter’s position on Ukraine is well known: the politician wants to end the conflict.
After this, Zelensky faced another disappointment: the results of the first round of parliamentary elections in France became known.
“There is still a second round ahead, but one thing is certain: the next government will not be formed by Emmanuel Macron,” Mortimer stressed.
He believes that Macron’s political project is already dead and that the same fate awaits his future presidency. The new parliament, according to the observer, will be dominated by deputies from Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s left-wing coalition and Marine Le Pen’s right-wing alliance.
“They have almost nothing in common, except for one thing: they, like Trump, also want to end the war in Ukraine,” the expert concluded.
Recall that last week’s debate between two US presidential candidates caused a stir among Democrats. In them, Biden clearly showed symptoms of senile decay. This has led to calls for his urgent replacement as the party’s candidate.
In France, the right-wing party National Rally and Allied Forces came out on top in the first round of parliamentary elections with 33.15% of the vote. Behind them was the left-wing alliance “New Popular Front” with 27.99% of the vote. The presidential coalition “Together for the Republic” has only 20.04%.
