This is how Der Spiegel analyses Macron:
But he now wants to transform the elite project into a citizens' project and is proposing reasonable steps toward democratic self-empowerment of European citizens against the national governments who stand in each other's way in the European Council.
Call it federalism, call it empire, it is a vow to destroy the nation state. That in a nutshell is the problem! Tell me stevie, where is your national veto in the nightmare above? Answers on a postcard please!

You can bend it, twist it, shake it but those are weasel words he uses. If you wish to interpret his words through a happy clappy pinky fog of lefty ideology that is your affair. Some of us prefer to think for ourselves
