Macron and Hollande: The Legacy of Failure La belle France faces a choice next week. Continue the failed policies of Hollande thru his successor Macron or forge a new path with Le Pen. With an approval rating of only 4% it is hard to imagine how France can choose to continue the legacy of Hollande. It has gotten so bad that his chosen successor, Macron, had to leave the Socialist party as there was no way someone from there was going to be elected. By all standards Hollande has had a failed presidency and I urge our French cousins not to be fooled by the charade. Switching the names of the party does not mean you will do anything different than your predecessor. Macron is Hollande and Hollande is Macron. Terrorism The people who actually live in France should be able to explain this better than I. Hollande and Macron has been an unqualified disaster on terrorism. Every couple of months France is in the news with yet another bombing, knifing, killing spree, out of control truck, or whatever the terrorists have done for that day. We have another moment of silence, Facebook photo, twitter hashtag, and then nothing. Nothing happens and it happens again and we repeat the process yet again. It is very difficult to imagine living under such circumstances. It is similar to a situation in a war zone where enemy combatants can kill you at any time. Yet Macron and Hollande have done nothing and are asking for the people to trust them with another term. Economics Even on economics Macron and Hollande have been colossal failures. Macron's law is one of the most unpopular pieces of legislation that Hollande has passed. GDP growth is slower than most of the other European countries, Long term unemployment is very high, more than 8 in 10 new jobs are temporary, and of course wages have not increased as well. It is very difficult to find a metric that Macron and Hollande have not failed in when it comes to the economy. The 4% approval rating means even his most ardent supporters do not approve of the performance of Hollande and his economic minister Macron. Albert Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is repeating the same action over and over again and hoping for a different result. I hope our French cousins are not insane. Choisir la Raison. Choissisez Le Pen. Choissisez la France.
Their is two more problems in France : First five years ago, N.Sarkozy deletes 20 000 cops jobs weakening the state, we're a lot in debt, and it's hard to hire more of them. However it weakened the state. We are a LOT in debt, around 100 % of our PIB. For some years, we have a lot of trouble do deal with our budget and so our debt.
Of course the alternative of Marie Le Pen whose policies are mirrors of Vichy France is the ultimate example of failure.
No. I'm not a MLP supporter but she ask for popular initiative, which isn't exactly "Vichy". Growing debt neither.
Indeed so - there is no answer to urban warfare: the enemy is invisible and can use multiple means to strike when least expected. And as if that isn't grim enough, they want to die.
Well the French wanted Schengen and now, just like Sweden, you'll reap the whirlwind of that short-sightedness (some would say 'stupidity') for ever.
Her father made no bones about it, he was a Nazi and founded the party on the principle of racial/national purity. He has recently come out as being disappointed that his daughter is watering down his vision. A friend of mine describes her this way, doesn't talk as much like a Nazi as her father while trying to get elected but she's still a Nazi.
The french elite, the french people less. We trusted our elites who promiss better days with EU with maastricht treaty, we didn't trust them anymore in 2005. However, it's really hard to doubt of europe in a country where all newspapers are for tbe EU. All newspapers are owned by billionnaires too. I'm myself rather euro agnostic. I don't really know if we should stay or leave EU. However it's unfair that romanian guys can work in France with romanian work laws. We already pay for their development and it's deeply unfair that we have to accept cheapest workers than the locals. That kind of things is clearly a drawback for french people.
Her father is an ******* and a racist but not a nazi. He tried to joi the resistance but be was refused because of his young age. He is still an *******, but her daughter is not him. I still don't like her, but you can't blame her for the acts of'her father however you can blame her for some people she accepted in her parti.
Rather I blame her for the parti she joined. They take white supremacy to a new level, white French supremacy. Si vous dormez avec des chiens, vous vous réveillerez avec des puces.
