Hopefully they have a law that forbids the French foriegn legion from being deployed on French soil and cutting loose on the demos.

It’s a six month delay in the tax, it was not eliminated. Time will tell if Macron officially drops it, or if the protests resume in six months, when it is now set to go into affect.

That head caption is a lie. Macron Delayed NOT DUMPED that tax hike by 6 months.

Yep - Macron pretty much smugly told them to kiss the ring of socialism and they told him to kiss their grits....

If you read the fine print in the French language media, the French govt is refusing to promise not to reinstate it in 2019.
