ByeBye Macron

[malaise]

You are history

[Wounded Bear]

1. Gotta admire the French...

they sure can get folks out in the streets.

[jimfields33]

2. Hes term limited so he's definitely done in 2027.

[roamer65]

3. He won't be running in 2027, even if he could.

Tells me he doesn’t give a shit anymore and doesn’t want a third term.

Probably will become an EU bureaucrat.

[Celerity]

4. a French president cannot serve more than two consecutive terms since 2008 (I assume you knew that)

[roamer65]

5. Yes, but I read of some sort of possible loophole.

He’s a definite two and out now.

6. Would it be too much to ask what this is about?

11. Thank you!

[BlackSkimmer]

8. Oh dear, I remember when he was adored here.

It's all so confusing.

9. By whom

He was always a neo-liberal.
He did beat the Fascists - everything is relative

[brooklynite]

10. No he's not...

He doesn't serve at the pleasure of the National Assembly.

[malaise]

12. So will he win or lose the no confidence vote?

Asking for some folks who know this happened before

[BlackSkimmer]

13. You said the same about Boris.

He may not be the PM, but he's still very active in GB - a very long way from being "history."

[malaise]

14. Huh?

Boris is no longer Prime Minister - who gives a damn if he is still active - that was QED'd.
On the other hand, I am not sure the French Left will allow the French Fascists to bring down Macron.
