Macron seems like a traitorous piece of crap to me, and apparently a lot of French people finally feel the same way – that he serves the globalists and the rich elite, who want to overtax and destroy the nation state in favor of the European Union and open borders, even if it means that millions of immigrants who won’t assimilate break the bank of the social welfare system and destroy France as a result.
I am pretty sure Nostradamus describes negligence and apathy in France to allow an easy path for the followers of Mohammad to eventually invade – so I imagine the Yellow Vest protests may not amount to much in the long run. But today they seem to be making an impact.
Russia Today‘s article: French opposition rejects Macron’s concessions to Yellow Vests, some demand ‘citizen revolution’ suggests “Macron’s concessions to the Yellow Vests has failed to appease protesters and opposition politicians…. Marine Le Pen, president of the National Rally (previously National Front), accused the president’s “model” of governance based on “wild globalization, financialization of the economy, unfair competition,” of failing to address the social and cultural consequences of the Yellow Vest movement….”
At Zerohedge.com an article says:
“Even by French standards, the protests of the “Yellow Vests” during the weekend of December 1 were startling. Burning cars and vast plumes of grey smoke seemed to engulf the Arc De Triomphe as if Paris were at war…. 133 were injured, 412 were arrested and more than 10,000 tear gas and stun grenades were fired…. Unlike previous protests in France, which have divided public opinion, these have widespread support – 72% according to a Harris Interactive Poll published December 1st.
Fuel tax rises — announced in November before being retracted on December — were intended to help bring down France’s carbon emissions by curbing the use of cars. Macron makes no secret of his wish to be seen as a global leader for environmental reform.
…An analysis by the Institut des Politiques Publiques think-tank shows that benefits cuts and tax changes in 2018 and 2019 will leave pensioners and the bottom fifth of households worse off, while the abolition of the wealth tax means that by far the biggest gains will go to the top 1% – This is tough to swallow. Macron is seen as being out of touch with ordinary people and is unlikely to escape his new title, “the President of the Rich.”
“People have this feeling that the Paris technocrats are doing complicated things to screw them,” said Charles Wyplosz, an economics professor at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.
It is probably not as complex as that. The French people feel screwed.
As employment and growth are slowing, Macron, for the first time in his presidency, is under serious pressure. Unemployment is at 9%; his efforts to reform Europe are stalling, and his approval rating has plummeted to just 23% according to a recent opinion poll by IFOP.”
Many articles suggest Macron could be replaced by the right wing Army General Pierre de Villiers. I hope Macron steps down peacefully. Let’s hope that the people of France, and the rest of Western Europe, can reclaim their nations from the onslaught of globalists and unlimited immigration without the bloodshed of WWIII.
