The French government falls. Macron’s grand project goes with it
The Dallas Morning News ^ | December 5, 2024 | Bloomberg Wire

Emmanuel Macron pitched himself as a bulwark against the rise of the far right in France when he burst onto the highest political stage and became president in 2017.

The leader of the European Union’s second-biggest economy has instead ushered in a period where far-right leader Marine Le Pen is not only the chief power broker in Paris, she’s closer than ever to the ultimate prize: the Elysee Palace.

Macron’s grand plans are now stuck in a cul-de-sac of chaotic failure after she allied with other parties on Wednesday to topple Prime Minister Michel Barnier. He was appointed just three months ago by Macron to lead a minority government and keep the project alive.

France now has no fully-empowered government — and no obvious way to form a stable one for months — the public is frustrated, and there’s a growing budget crisis. Investors have driven up risk premiums on French assets over peers to levels not seen in more than a decade and sent stocks plunging. The benchmark equity index is on track for its worst year relative to Europe’s Stoxx 600 since 2010.

Macron’s loosening grip on his agenda and Le Pen’s ascent mark the apex of a years-long battle between two visions of France and the European Union.

Same reason Pirates, Thieves and Nazis are still in power in Ukraine even though never-a-nation, Borderlands Ukraine, fell repeatedly to everyone around them, they always surrender.

LOL Ukraine is now more of a nation than it's ever been thanks to Vlad.

Almost three years of fighting against Russia and they're still there.

The French president is elected separately from their parliament just like ours is separate from Congress. Contrast that to the British where the Prime Minister is part of their parliament and selected leader by it.

I personally believe that President Trump has a following of freedom and merit loving people in many parts of the World.

How vocal or demonstrative they are probably varies by location.

Many can vote by secret ballot and Push Back.

It’s no secret that Macron has a fetish for necrophilia.

Note: The “far right” in France is equivalent to the socialist’s in the USA. There is no political party in Europe that is akin to what conservatives are in America. In Europe, ALL the political organization lean left (except the Viktor Orban party in Hungary).
