I'd say it's certainly part of his thinking, and certainly not central in his thinking.

Or, to sum up: I don't think Macron wants, or relishes the idea to veto an extension. But to think he would hesitate to do it just because he'd be alone is misunderstanding the man, both politically and personally. 6/

He's not necessarily looking for tough or uncompromising. He feels Europe should move on and focus on other things, and so fears the permanent Brexit drama dominating the next Commission's and Parliament's five-year term.

I don't believe in b). My feeling (for what it's worth, which may not be much) is that it is misunderstanding the man. He would have no qualms vetoing alone (if he feels he has a case, that is). Then campaigning on the courage it took to amputate, in order to save Europe.

But he would have no qualms opposing another delay if he thinks it's not in France's and (his vision of) the EU's interest. It has little to do with de Gaulle (anachronism) little to do with Merkel (after all, what has she done for him?) and a lot to do with realpolitik. 5/

If May can produce even a vague cross-party agreement on the (in)famous "way forward," Macron can agree to extension until June and maybe later, providing he gets strong guarantees the UK won't meddle in EU affairs - which will be legally hard to do. 4/

So Macron will agree neither to unconditional extension, nor to anything that might be negated at a further date due to the UK political funk, seen lasting for another few years (i.e. "a maniac Brexiteer as PM, another hung Parliament or new calls for yet another referendum.") 3/

Central to the French prez's view is that Brexit shouldn't keep monopolizing ("polluting," in govt official's word) the intra-European debate, complicated enough as it is. 2/

Speculation that Macron will have to "cave in" at the European Council because he would never risk "taking the blame" for a no-deal Brexit are way off the mark. Not the way the man works.

The fiasco is Brexit. In the current context, no-deal may have become the best choice, even economically, when compared to never-deal and forever-mess.
