France Yellow Vests Week 301*Budget Freeze Proposed*Drama Over New Government Dragged On By Macron*Fire Set At Synagogue Suspect Shot And Arrested*Paris Protest*

Caretaker Prime Minister Gabriel Attal proposing what amounts to a budget freeze for 2025...

Friday the first day of a long drawn-out series of discussions with various political factions held by President Emmanuel Macron.

Macron brought his own "Centrist" faction in then the "Left" had its opportunity to meet him.

And to emphasize at this moment keeping the Anti-Israel, Anti-Capitalist Left out of power in France is what underlies President Emmanuel Macron's actions in the post-election period.

Also worth noting the arrest of Pavel Durov this weekend in France might now have been possible...

An incident at a synagogue today cars torched causing an explosion in front of it.

A police officer hurt in the incident in La Grande-Motte on the Mediterranean coast...

A small band of protesters with some drums accompanying them taking to the streets. Those involved numbering in the dozens...

Mr. Nextrush, may I ask you one quick question?
I see that you report about France, in particular, her political conflicts, mandates, elections and social protests Your reporting is thorough and detailed.
My question is do you have personal ties to France?
Are you from that country or of that heritage?

France has been a strong influence in the western culture, going back as far as Michel De Montaigne to J. Sarte.
It will be interesting to find out if France ever manages to gain control of it’s immigration problems.
They are almost literally in the same boat as is Great Britain.

I have relatives who have lived there my parents visited there but I never visited France.

I studied the French language in high school for six weeks.

I am well-read when it comes to history I even read books on French history.

I monitor media from France as well.

In my youth I listened to French media outlets like “France Inter” and “RTL” on my shortwave radio as well.

In the 1980’s and 1990’s I watched French news programs on satellite dishes.

And once the internet came along I indulged in listening to radio stations from France again.

France had 1789 the USA had 1776 this means France has a firmly established tradition of centralized government that can enforce order from top down quickly depending on which faction is in charge.

France still has what I call a “functioning left wing” that the Liberal Capitalists are struggling to crush.

Sir Keir Starmer the “stealth left winger” is in charge in the UK.

Macron is probably more conservative than Starmer ironically.
