Impeachment proceedings against France's Macron pass first hurdle.
Impeachment proceedings against France's Macron pass first hurdle.
The bureau of France's National Assembly has validated an impeachment procedure brought by hard-left MPs against President Emmanuel Macron. It's an unprecedented move in France, but it is highly unlikely…
You're viewing a single thread.
Kinda crazy to me that he first pulls out the stops to block FN (their alt-right party), then later made overtures to them instead of the left wing. Like… fucking what.
Macron et co hate the far-right more than the left, but only barely. Once the far-right was no longer in danger of being in control, Macron felt safe to fuck over the left by going with a fellow neoliberal shill.
They actually hate the left more than the far right.
During this springs legislative campaign, they spent more time criticizing the left for being dangerous, proto-fascist and antisemitic than they spent criticizing the far-right for the same things.
Meanwhile a few far-right candidates were seen wearing nazi symbols or heard saying fascist stuff.When choosing a prime minister, Macron chose one that the far right would approve (our National Assembly can refuse a prime minister and it's government) instead of one the left would approve.
Macron and his cronies are just simps for our millionaire and billionaire overlords, and they know the far right in France is more than ok with economical neoliberalism.
I really appreciate hearing from someone who is actually in France.
Also, have the moderates in France completely failed to understand history? Moderates cozying up to the far right is how we got the Nazis running Germany.
Same in France during WWII, centrist and a good part of the socialists gave full power to far-right military dictatorship
So yeah, some people in France would need a quick recap of the past century history
Governments the world over. They know who pays them more.
They hate them so much they even had dinners together!
Made me laugh. Thanks.
That only works so many times before you get buttfucked by the far right
Worked since like 1995 so far
Pretty sure Macron wanted the far right to win to hand over the country to them, even after they fucked up everything as they always do, he could come back saying that he's going to fix the country. When the left won, he just gave the power to the right anyway.
Macron needs the electoral threat of a fascist majority to spur people towards his lukewarm liberal En March. He didn't anticipate that Mélenchon would command such a popular turnout. So now he's scrambling to reinflate the fascist boogeyman in hopes of pitting the far-right against the center-left. And, in the process, he's turning everyone against him.
I mean, he's been implementing hard right policies all along, so...
Classic liberal move, history somewhat repeats itself. They'd rather have fascists than leftists in power.
It’ because fascists don’t endanger neolib capitalism, but leftists do
stalin, mao, min, castro ..... hmmmm i wonder why
Oh yeah, because not wanting 90% of my country's media to belong to 10 people, or have proper taxation for richer folks, or good use of my tax euros for proper free health care and education for everyone make me a Stalinist.
I'd absolutely rather have billionaire fueled propaganda against brown people and the poor, all the while they eat lobster and literally burn the planet to the ground. At least that's not slightly leftist, right ?
stalin, mao, min, castro …
Who could forget the time FDR, Churchill, and Hitler met at Yalta to decide what to do with the defeated Soviet Russia?
And for the love of god, don't google any pictures of Nixon. Very real chance you're going to catch him shaking hands with some shady communist characters.
None of them electoral politicians, like the ones we're talking about here. Try again.
Sounds like you need to read more history, because, like… no.
Like the rich propping up fascists to keep their wealth and power ? That's completely unheard of right ? It's literally happening in France right now.
Most billionaires in europe!!1!
Ffs.
Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds.
