Dude is massively responsible for this, at least in France.
How so? Genuinely curious
On a more general note than the answer you already got, he is extremely authoritarian, absolutely never listen to the people same for his government, refuses to change his mind on anything and isn't open to discussion on anything. Even with the state of emergency being declared on part of the territory, he didn't give anything away to make it stop.
So he destroys the social net, and people's beliefs in democracy : that's the two things you have to do to raise far right anywhere.
I genuinely believe that he will go down in history as our Thatcher. He has been in government for roughly 10 years now and everything he did was to destroy the fabric of the French social system.
A few things he did :
I could go on and on but you get the gist. People are tired, all the protests are violently repressed, except a few that usually are organised by the fat right. People are getting poorer, our school system is crumbling, our healthcare too and the country is visible getting more authoritarian by the day. But we have a few more billionaires and the ones that were already there are richer than ever.
thank you, i was following the news of french protests and I couldn't make sense of how macron could still be in power throughout
Thank you for the writeup, I don't really see alot of info on other governments other than damn USA
I don't know how it works in France but they also banned hijabs. Send kind of right wing. Was he responsible for that?
Not from there, but didn't he shove a ton of austerity down the French people's throat, like raising the retirement age? There were big protests and stuff
Exactly this. He's a corpocrat, which is a big no-no in the french public eye. Also, he has more of an assimilation instead of integration style in regards to immigration politics, so he's right leaning as well. Doesn't help that the left doesn't have any candidates that anyone can take seriously.
You stole the words from my mouth.
