| > 1. We had a convention citoyenne pour le climat. Macron then mostly ignored it. The reality is: talking about CO2 emissions is talking about economy. That is the main job of the government. > 2. We have elected representatives who can vote on the laws for us. Macron then used article 49.3 to mostly ignore them. Macron did not ignore them. 49.3 means: "I'm ready to go on this point; are you ready, too?". And, by the way, you do remember that Macron was elected, too, do you? > 3. Vote? For which candidate? None of them would cover all of the GJs' demands. So what? This is democracy! If you can't, or don't want to, found your political movement, then you have to choose among the available candidates. Do you think Macron's program matched exactly my desires? The revolution, the feminism and the union strikes were expressions of people who were oppressed and on the receiving side of violence. Gilets Jaunes was none of this. |
- peaceful protest or "convention citoyenne" are not and should not be efficient
- We don't care what the vast majority of people want, and we don't care about the parliament.
- The only thing we should care is what think the President. The one who got the support of barely 20% of the French population on the first round, and them got elected on the second round because people voted against the far right... In a "presidential Monarchy"
What a nice conception of "democracy"
