EMMANUEL Macron's government faces a vote of no confidence in parliament on Thursday amid nationwide anger at the French president which has seen violent riots across the country. Mr Macron's leadership is hanging by a thread after the Yellow Vest protests posed the most formidable challenge yet to his presidency. Leftist MEPs said Thursday's vote is the result of 18 months of fiscal injustice and called on the French president to "radically change direction". The Paris protests which erupted on November 17, were focused on denouncing a squeeze on household spending brought about by Mr Macron's taxes on diesel, which he said were necessary to combat climate change and protect the environment.

Yellow jackets are more clueless than you think. They are protesting high taxes when in reality they just want more free stuff from the government. Socialism is one giant circle of feeding until their is nothing left to eat.
EU will remain in chaos as long as there are mosques and muzzies in their countries. Get rid of them and things will return to normal again. Guaranteed!
They are dropping like flies!
That is for sure, but look at some of the other EU countries, I don’t see how they last. France, Italy, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, just the ones from top of mind-—turmoil all around...and even more in South America.
Could be wrong as I’m not entirely familiar with the French Constitution, but as president I don’t think Macron can be removed by a vote of no confidence in their parliament. His prime minister and cabinet, on the other hand, would be obliged to resign. And he might resign as well. But having maybe three years left on his first five year term I think chances are he’ll have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the office.
You have a decentralized rebellion, with various parties unhappy over various things, and the Leftists trying to use the chaos for their own purposes.
Beware of what the media tries to tell you about what they "really" want.
Another one bites the dust.
So it’s leftist MPs who initiated the no confidence vote? That’s an interesting twist but not really surprising I guess. No doubt they are fully onboard with the climate change agenda but they’ll attack Macron from the left over his methods. They’ll say he was punishing the pipples and insist on more socialism — namely that big business, not the people, should be forced to pay the cost of the social engineering needed to implement the climate agenda (as well as the rest of the left’s agenda).
The little dictator is still in hiding.

I hoping you’re wrong but betting you’re right. France is likely to end up with various Macron clones on their march to Nirvana led by that famous leader of the people: Big Brother.
Agreed. It is very interesting to watch. Takes a lot of filtering to really figure it out. One thing for sure...it is a mess. Lots of moving parts and the govt and media both add in their own agendas.
Let’s hope that Democrats and liberals are paying attention. This too can happen to them and for the same reason.
Please tell me this will be a two-fer. May tonight and Macron tomorrow. Make this a Merry Christmas!
With the first part of your sentence, I thought you were talking about Turd-owe.
Turd-owe and Macron: As my aunt used to say, “SOSOS”. ‘Same Old Sh$% Only Softer’.
Flashback: Macron rebukes Trump’s ‘America First’ approach
That was just 30 days ago.
Trump about to get the last laugh
Nothing would accelerate the demise of the United States faster than your hoped for dissolution of our union. Ever heard of the old strategy of divide and conquer?
You think we have issues with “migrants” now?
If our union fell apart, CA, WA, OR, NJ, NY, CT, VA, MI, CO, NM, and every other lib run state would have migrants coming to our states that at least have a semblance of order.
Canary in the coal mine.
