Wtf happened to this guy? Wasn’t he reasonably moderate? Wasn’t he supposed to be the Biden/Trudeau of France? Can someone explain why he’s dancing this dance?
Sorry for my rusty english :
It's really worrying...the two terms election is here to stop any power abuse and they complain...Do they want to start a dictatorship ?
Well, Macron isn't moderate. In fact, he belong to an extremist movement too, but as we call it "center", he sound righteous, reasonable between left and right. Imho, Biden/Trudeau/Macron aren't different : they share the same view on economics system.
Currently, he is destroying our social system without listening its people : teachers, doctors, hospital, scientifics...are underpaid (same for the previous president). He asked us to work longer whereas at 60, you rapidly start declining and we presented other and better solution. He didn't listen and imposed the law with 49.3 hence one of the longest strike in France.
He forced poor people to work 3 days per week to get a small fee that mean poor people will be forced to accept any kind of degrading bullshit job to live. Rich people aren't taxed and get some fund for their projet...Furthermore he doing nothing toward the environnement except building new nuclear plant which is far from enough and risky because nuclear plant rely on water to cool down. And France will become a desertic area. We are unable to reduce our carbon footprint around the world, so it's clear we will reach the worst scenario. We need both : renewable and nuclear.
So, here is the painting.
The lesser of two evils implies they're both still evil
Yeah, first term he was shiny, second term he was just less shit that Le Pen.
He is a liberal applying a liberal policy. Nothing moderate in "liberal" policies but good old right-wing policy with a drop of social varnish to get voters
Kinda moderate in pre-election speaches, but has been pushing a liberal agenda backed by police brutality since day one.
Also been getting high on feeling "the big man" since the beginning, I remember him being a jerk to a middle school student who called him "Manu" as a joke, he went all "that's mister president for you, you can call me Manu once you've accomplished something with your life".
To put it quickly, liberalism degenerate into fascism when facing difficulties.
In fact, any system will degenerate into fascism when facing a wall because fascism is the core of the state.
Macron is tired of fighting to push liberalism so hard, but he will rather ally and even become fascist than allying with the left. Because the left is radically anti-liberal while the right is merely fascist, but that's not anti-liberal so it's fine.
He was never a good guy, he’s a “centrist”/liberal.
Power corrupts
