There’s seems to be no end to beleaguered French President Emmanuel Macron’s downfall. While the French leader loves to criticise the leaders of the US and Hungary, his own situation becomes more critical by the day.
A day after the massive protests against Macron’s announced increase in fuel tax a poll was published in the Journal du Dimanche.
The Sunday poll found that four per cent of French respondents said they are “very satisfied” with Macron’s work, and 21 per cent are “mostly satisfied.” According to the poll, thirty-four percent were “mostly dissatisfied” while 39 percent were “very dissatisfied”.
Yesterday massive protests against the French government took place. The so called “yellow vests”, opposing an increase in taxes blocked hundreds of roads. In the protests, that attracted around one million people, more than 200 were injured and one person died.
