Story time : A friend of mine, who lives in the same city, was approached by a man who founded an association regarding some local matters (security, sanitation, etc...). My guy is a bit invested in this so why not. He gets an invitation to a nearby restaurant supposedly to discuss about the association's mission, gets there. Turns out it was a meeting for Macron's party settling some interparty business for next elections. My friend get presented by the dude who invited him to the head of the local chapter with a loud "This is [X] and he's very interested in joining us !". Didn't say anything on the spot but was a bit miffed.
It's purely anecdotal and Macron isn't especially popular round those parts so I get why they're so aggressive but I guess we needed a break from those BoJo's Twitter stories.
