French protesters rage at ‘stolen election’ as Macron picks conservative Barnier for PM

Amid cries of “Macron Out!, Resign Macron!” leftist demonstrators gathered in the autumn sun in their thousands to protest against French President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to appoint the veteran conservative prime minister, rather than a candidate from among their ranks.

While falling short of an absolute majority, the left-wing coalition the New Popular Front (NFP) (made up of the Greens, the Socialists, the Communists and the hard-left France Unbowed) won the most votes in the July 7 snap poll.

Bodentruppen in die Ukraine schicken? Scholz widerspricht Macron

Scholz fügte hinzu, dass es auch keine Beteiligung von Soldaten aus der Ferne am Kriegsgeschehen geben dürfe. Man habe sich auch darauf verständigt, „dass auch die Soldaten, die in unseren Ländern tätig sind, sich nicht selber etwa aktiv an dem Kriegsgeschehen beteiligen“, sagte er. Eine Beteiligung aus der Ferne wäre zum Beispiel über die Programmierung von Zieldaten für Flugkörper möglich. Der Kanzler betonte, dass diese Verständigung in Paris „ein ganz, ganz guter und ganz wichtiger Fortschritt“, sei. „Es war auch sehr einhellig, was diese Frage betrifft.“

Emmanuel Macron: France’s Caligula?

Instead, on Macron’s orders, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne used a controversial clause in the Constitution, Article 49.3, to pass the bill.

The Republican Party are widely supportive of Macron’s reform bill, which raises the age of retirement from sixty-two to sixty-four, and issued instructions for its sixty-one Members of Parliament to vote against the motion. But nineteen of its MPs defied orders, adding to the dissent and disorder which has swept France in recent days, in parliament and on the street.

Macron holds firm on pension reform bill as protests escalate

Dismissing calls for a snap election or a referendum, he said the plan to raise France’s minimum retirement age from 62 to 64 would continue on its “democratic path” and come into force by the end of 2023.

The French president also reaffirmed his faith in Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, whose government narrowly survived a no-confidence vote triggered by Macron‘s use of special executive powers to bypass parliament.

More than 1 million protest across France against Macron’s pension reform

– More than a million people took to the streets across France to protest against the Macron government’s plans to reform the pension system, of which a proposal to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 is among the most controversial. Macron insists the reform is needed to reform a moribund system – but some of the government’s own experts have said the pension system is in relatively good shape and would likely eventually return to a balanced budget even without reforms. 

– The interior ministry said some 1.2 people protested across France, 80,000 of them in Paris. Union organisers, however, estimated the number at 2 million, with 400,000 protesting in Paris.

Proteste abgeebbt: Macron pokert gegen „Gelbwesten“

Die „Gelbwesten“ haben die französische Regierung mit ihren Massenprotesten über Monate das Fürchten gelehrt. Präsident Emmanuel Macron musste – recht teure – Zugeständnisse machen. Nun, wo die Protestwelle so ziemlich abgeebbt und der Sommer da ist, wagt er sich wieder aus der Deckung. Es soll wieder gekürzt werden. Der Poker ist gewagt.
