Dude is massively responsible for this, at least in France.

Not from there, but didn't he shove a ton of austerity down the French people's throat, like raising the retirement age? There were big protests and stuff

Exactly this. He's a corpocrat, which is a big no-no in the french public eye. Also, he has more of an assimilation instead of integration style in regards to immigration politics, so he's right leaning as well. Doesn't help that the left doesn't have any candidates that anyone can take seriously.
