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

They are largely Anti-Worker

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

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

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

I think Macron will have to resign eventually

He can't keep this up forever

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

He should at least call early elections

It's not like his reforms would last anyway

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

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

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.

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

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.

Well this is disappointing

@The Electric Lizard which party is the communist party

The ones with dark red pillars

24% is pretty high for a communist party

Apparently it's a Eurosceptic Communist Party though

Ye

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

@The Electric Lizard Lega's doing well

M5S got butt fucked quite hard.

It seems unfair that an election wasn't called

Lega would almost certainly win it

Yeah the Centre Left cheated.

Lega plus Fdl would run roughshod over everyone

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

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

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

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

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

Typical Neo Lib snakes

not everyone is a neo lib lol

The 5 Star were.
