Macron has a 20 percent favorite rating at home what gives him the right to speak out about anything?

LOL! After all he has managed to get a "peasant uprising" 16th century style!

Little Manu hasn’t seen the state of his country? Yellow jackets stopping commerce EVERY weekend, burning the EU “flag” and he thinks a rebirth (more of the same) is the answer?
Deluded.

whenever there s the hint of Europeans empowering themselves, the comments are full of russians, english and americans raging against it and calling for the outmost vicious acts against that BY EUROPEANS THEMSELVES.
thanks guys, you always care for us, how altruist of you

Plan? What about plan lower taxes for people of French, so they can put food on table. He more worry about EU then what happening in his nation. Has he even look at his poll numbers?

More EU is the last thing people want in Europe. Quite the opposite is true, people across the EU are fed up with Brussels and want less interference from them. But when have the EU brigade ever cared about the wishes of its citizens. They will continue regardless of any opposition, towards their goal of a federal Europe.
The wheels on the EU bus might be going round and round, but there is no avoiding the car crash to come.
