I don't like Macron, but whats the big issue with his reforms?

2020-01-19 01:49:20 UTC  

They are largely Anti-Worker

2020-01-19 01:49:57 UTC  

I don't know the reforms in full but from what i have heard that almost force people to retire at a later age to get their full pension

2020-01-19 01:50:50 UTC  

Plus he keeps introducing new taxes that hit working people despite France already having a high cost of living

2020-01-19 01:57:44 UTC  

*People are not happy with my reforms? Well tax them some more, that'll make them like me!*

2020-01-19 02:00:42 UTC  

I think Macron will have to resign eventually

2020-01-19 02:00:48 UTC  

He can't keep this up forever

2020-01-19 02:01:26 UTC  

There have been constant protests, riots and strikes since he was elected and they show no sign of stopping

2020-01-19 02:01:33 UTC  

He should at least call early elections

2020-01-19 02:01:58 UTC  

It's not like his reforms would last anyway

2020-01-19 02:02:20 UTC  

With the current opposition to them even if he managed to pass them they would just be abolished by the next President

2020-01-19 02:04:31 UTC  

Didn't he also raise the retirement age? But is that not necessaryily bad since French people are living longer anyway?

2020-01-19 10:50:24 UTC  

Hilariously this anti worker stuff started under the previous socialist government when they tried to tax the rich a stupid amount and so they just fucking left. Resulting in taxes being raised on the poorest in society. Even some households that historically never would have paid tax.

2020-01-19 10:51:13 UTC  

Also Macron won’t stop. He’s relying on going up against Le Pen again and having another term to do the same shit.

2020-01-19 10:52:37 UTC  

The next presidential election is either Macron or Le Pen so the people need to either suck it up and vote Le Pen or ask Macron not to hit them too hard.

2020-01-19 12:52:29 UTC  

Well this is disappointing

2020-01-19 13:11:57 UTC  

@The Electric Lizard which party is the communist party

2020-01-19 13:46:28 UTC  

The ones with dark red pillars

2020-01-19 14:10:04 UTC  

24% is pretty high for a communist party

2020-01-19 14:10:42 UTC  

Apparently it's a Eurosceptic Communist Party though

2020-01-19 15:33:31 UTC  

Ye

2020-01-19 15:33:43 UTC  

Commies in France have their brains turned on when it comes to the EU generally

2020-01-19 16:10:40 UTC  

@The Electric Lizard Lega's doing well

2020-01-19 16:11:18 UTC  

M5S got butt fucked quite hard.

2020-01-19 16:11:48 UTC  

It seems unfair that an election wasn't called

2020-01-19 16:11:55 UTC  

Lega would almost certainly win it

2020-01-19 16:12:02 UTC  

Yeah the Centre Left cheated.

2020-01-19 16:12:14 UTC  

Lega plus Fdl would run roughshod over everyone

2020-01-19 16:12:36 UTC  

But as long as their popularity doesn't fade they can easily win the next election

2020-01-19 16:12:53 UTC  

I don't think the leader of the Five Star Movement would be able to show his face in public after what he did.

2020-01-19 16:13:41 UTC  

It would result in the live action re-enactment of Julius Ceasers death.

2020-01-19 16:15:14 UTC  

Italians will always remember those who betray them and they'll never forget.

2020-01-19 16:15:29 UTC  

M5S abandoned fighting the EU in favour of going ideological with the left

2020-01-19 16:15:52 UTC  

Typical Neo Lib snakes

2020-01-19 16:16:21 UTC  

not everyone is a neo lib lol

2020-01-19 16:23:50 UTC  

The 5 Star were.

2020-01-20 06:59:14 UTC  

holy shit
