French roads blocked, refineries on strike after Macron pension move - SUCH TV

Protesters blocked a key highway around the French capital and escalated strikes at refineries on Friday in a new show of anger after President Emmanuel Macron pushed through a contentious pension reform without a parliamentary vote. Macron’s move sparked protests across the country on Thursday night, with more than 300 people arrested nationwide, according to the interior minister. On Friday…

"A heavyweight politician who has been allied to Macron since he swept to power in the 2017 election campaign, Bayrou heads the MoDem party which is allied to, but not part of, Macron's centrist force.

Bayrou, 73, was acquitted in February after a seven-year-long case over the fraudulent employment of parliamentary assistants by his party, opening up a potential return to government. In 2017, he served as Macron's first justice minister but was replaced after just one month because of ethics concerns over the case."

Imagine

Imagine the Prime Minister had to quit because no one supported their politics anymore

Imagine the President named someone else as their successor and everyone thought they're unqualified for the job

Imagine the New Prime Minister tries his to save the boat and, well, he's not doing the best job, but he's here at least ?

And then imagine, half a year later, the President throw a tantrum because his team is losing its power so he fire the Prime Minister (and his whole government)

Imagine the delusional President organise a new election out of nowhere genuinely thinking people would be with him on this fight

Imagine against everything the Left win and someone is proposed as the next Prime Minister but the President refused (he's allowed to but that doesn't make sense. The thing is that he's not supposed to, the people voted for the party they wanted, this should be the new government)

Imagine after almost two months without real government, the President FINALLY named a new Prime Minister that no one asked for and no one wanted

Imagine the people realizing that they voted for nothing so they started calling out the President on his bullsshit

Imagine not even a week after that half of the medias and politicians started saying that the New Guy isn't going to last long, that they'd boycott him, or that the new government is lame

Imagine every single thing the New Prime Minister proposed then is rejected so he tried to force the law to make it pass

Imagine the politicians were just waiting for this shit to propose to vote him out. And they did.

Imagine the President wasn't even in the country when this is happening and refused to come back before his official visit was over because he didn't think they'd actually vote the man out

Now imagine the Prime Minister is forced to resign after only 90 days and the President has to name a new one very soon because he's gonna meet another country's President in a few days

You can imagine that ?

Well that's what has been happening in France for the year 2024. 4 weeks left before the end of the year, I think a lot of things can still happen

Macron literally leaning over. Putting his hand on Trumps arm. Interrupting him. Telling him he is wrong.

God. Yelled.

US President Donald Trump has blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the Russian invasion of his country.

This is a massive change of US position on the war in Ukraine, which began when Russian forces invaded the country in February 2022. It also interestingly echoes Russian talking points about how Ukraine is responsible for the war, supposedly based on NATO expansion and corruption.

Trump has also suggested that Zelenskyy should hold new presidential elections and that his current term, extended by the war and necessary martial law, is no longer completely legitimate and that the people don't support him.

Zelenskyy has responded, pointing out that 58% of the Ukrainian people support his presidency.

The stark departure from President Joe Biden's resolute support of Zelenskyy and Ukraine is another part of the Trump revolution that is once again upending international norms and disrupting American leadership around the world, especially in Europe.

It comes off the back of US Vice President JD Vance denigrating Europe for supposedly restricting freedoms in his speech to the Munich Security Conference, which was expected to focus on the war in Ukraine but barely mentioned the conflict.

This series of events has accelerated European international communication and potential cooperation, with many European heads of government meeting in Paris for an emergency summit in the last few days.

French President Emmanuel Macron has been leading the talks and has been pushing for a more assertive and independent Europe since his first election in 2017.

Macron had to pat Trump's arm, then gently correct him on the lies he was about to spread.

This man is an embarrassment. Watch how he acts when he is corrected.

French president Macron’s name was spelled with a ‘q’ (Maqron?) in Canadian French.

Trump is beyond lying, he is fundamentally delusional.
