ON THE BRINK: Macron May Face ‘No Confidence’ Vote After Paris Riots

posted by Hannity Staff - 12.06.18

The political future of French President Emmanuel Macron hung in the balance Thursday, with lawmakers considering a vote of ‘no confidence’ that could ultimately lead to the leader’s removal after his botched “climate tax” was officially abandoned.

“The Socialist Party, far-left Defiant France and the Communist Party are setting aside their divisions and promising to submit the request to the lower house of parliament, or National Assembly, on Monday. The assembly would hold a no-confidence motion within 48 hours of the request,” writes Fox News.

The legislators would likely need support from Macron’s centrist party to unseat the French president.

Macron abruptly pulled-the-plug on his “fuel tax” Wednesday after weeks of violent demonstrations throughout the country; with gas prices skyrocketing and supplies dwindling across France.

French President Emmanuel Macron officially “abandoned” his proposed “fuel tax” Wednesday; with government officials confirming the leader rescinded the tariff after widespread protests.

His Prime Minister told reporters the “tax is now abandoned,” adding the administration is “ready for dialogue” to avoid future violence surrounding the policy.

“One of the activists leading France’s protest movement says that he fears more deaths if Saturday’s demonstration goes ahead, and called for President Emmanuel Macron to speak out and bring calm,” writes ABC News. “French President Emmanuel Macron has scrapped a fuel tax rise amid fears of new violence, after weeks of nationwide protests and the worst rioting in Paris in decades.”

“If not there will be chaos,” added another protester before learning of Macron’s reversal.

MACRON’S MESS: French President’s Approval PLUNGES to 26% in New Polls

posted by Hannity Staff - 11.26.18

French President Emmanuel Macron’s approval rating plunged in recent polling; raising serious questions over the leader’s political future after a series of mass protests against high unemployment and rising gas prices.

According to Politico, the new survey has Macron at a dismal 26% approval rating among the French people; the lowest levels seen at similar times for his predecessors.

“The survey by pollster BVA found only 26 percent of French people have a favorable opinion of Macron. That’s a drop of three points from last month, putting Macron’s rating 19 months into his presidency below those of his immediate predecessor François Hollande (48 percent) and ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy (29 percent) at the same stage of their terms of office,” writes Politico.

“We have received the message from the citizens. It invites us to go further. In order for the ecological transition, which is necessary, not to be socially unacceptable, it must be fair, equitable and democratic. We must therefore mobilize all those who will make it acceptable, so as not to leave anyone behind,” said a statement from Macron’s advisors late last week.
