France's jewish prime minister Élisabeth Bornstein a.k.a. Élisabeth Borne wants to "tackle racism":

French prime minister unveils plans to tackle racism


Name it, act on it, sanction it

By ELAINE GANLEY Associated Press
January 30, 2023, 2:17 PM

PARIS -- Name it, act on it, sanction it.

That is the focus of a new drive against racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination of all kinds that was announced Monday by French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne.

The four-year plan starts with educating youth with a required yearly trip to a Holocaust or other memorial site exemplifying the horrors that racism can produce. It includes training teachers and civil servants about discrimination and toughening the ability to punish those denounced for discrimination.

Arrest warrants will be issued to those who use freedom of expression for racist or anti-Semitic ends.

Unusually, the plan includes fighting discrimination against Roma.

“There will be no impunity for hate,” Borne said, presenting her plan with 80 measures at the Institute of the Arab World.

Le Pen most likely to win future French presidency after Macron’s pension reform push, writes UK paper


Opposition to the pension reform has propelled Le Pen to the top

February 21, 2023
editor: REMIX NEWS author: DENES ALBERT



One of the most popular French opposition politicians, Marine Le Pen, is the most likely to win the next elections in 2027, writes British newspaper The Times.

The right-leaning politician’s position has been strengthened by her strong stance over the last two weeks against the government’s proposed pension reform. She has been sharply critical of President Emmanuel Macron, who wants to keep French people working longer by extending the retirement age by two years from 62 to 64.

While addressing to French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, Le Pen said during a speech in parliament last month: “Is it good for the country to start this year, by proposing a retirement reform that’s seeks to raise the age of retirement, something that 70% of French are opposed to? The government speaks of courage, but it is not courage to make French, especially those who started working at an early age, pay for the failures of the policies of these last years.”
(...)
Compared with the results of a month ago, Macron’s popularity has fallen, especially among Republican Party supporters, who are 12 percent less likely to vote for him than before. However, even among supporters of the governing party, Macron’s popularity has fallen by 4 percent.

The poll also shows that Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne is not faring any better, with her popularity down by 3 percent to 29 percent, the lowest level since she took office. The dramatic drop in the popularity of the French head of state and prime minister is largely due to the pension reform, which has provoked strong opposition.

France's first lady fails in transgender lawsuit


Attempt by France’s first lady to quash “fake news” failed on procedural grounds



A Paris judge has thrown out Brigitte Macron’s case against two women who claimed in a YouTube show that France’s first lady is actually her own transgender brother. President Emmanuel Macron’s wife had a case for public defamation, but not for invasion of privacy and violation of image, the judge ruled.

The video, posted on December 10, 2021, advanced a “completely outlandish” theory that Brigitte Macron was actually the trangender identity of her brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux. The video received hundreds of thousands of views, and the transgender rumor trended on Twitter for several days.
(...)
The first lady’s official biography says she was born Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux to a family of chocolatiers from Amiens. She married a banker named Andre-Louis Auziere in 1974 and had three children. In 1993, when she was 40 and teaching at La Providence Jesuit high school in Amiens, she met Emmanuel Macron – who was 15 at the time, and a classmate of her daughter Laurence.

Well, she certainly looks like a man. Word on the street is that Macron is a fag who's using his ugly hag wife as a beard.

Protests resume in France amid anger at Macron's pension age reform


By Dominique Vidalon



Fire emerges as people attend a demonstration on Place de la Concorde to protest the use by French government of the article 49.3, a special clause in the French Constitution, to push the pensions reform bill through the National Assembly without a vote by lawmakers, in Paris, France, March 17, 2023. REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes

PARIS, March 18 (Reuters) - Refinery strikes persisted on Saturday in France and more demonstrations were taking place throughout the country amid anger at the government pushing through a rise in the state pension age without a parliamentary vote.

The growing unrest, combined with rubbish piling up on the streets of Paris after refused workers joined in the action, has left President Emmanuel Macron with the gravest challenge to his authority since the so-called "Gilets Jaunes" (Yellow Vests) protests of December 2018.

For third night, Paris police clash with protesters demanding President Macron resign


Sunday, 19 March 2023 1:01 AM [ Last Update: Sunday, 19 March 2023 1:51 AM ]

The French police have clashed with protesters rallying for a third straight night in Paris, demanding President Emmanuel Macron resign over controversial pension reforms he assertively champions despite growing public clamor.

"Macron, Resign!" and "Macron is going to break down, we are going to win," demonstrators chanted on the Place d'Italie in southern Paris on Saturday.

The riot police then used tear gas canisters and clashed with protesters as garbage containers were set on fire.

The law enforcement forces also placed as many as 81 people under arrest, after 61 were arrested the previous night.

Earlier in the French capital, a group of students and activists from the "Revolution Permanente" collective briefly invaded the Forum des Halles shopping mall, waving banners, calling for a general strike, and shouting "Paris stand up, rise up," videos on social media showed.

France bans protests outside parliament


The Macron government’s unilateral and controversial decision to raise the retirement age led to massive demonstrations

French police have banned all gatherings in two protest hotspots across from the parliament in Paris, citing “serious risks of disturbances to public order” in a statement issued on Saturday.

The “public thoroughfare in Place de la Concorde and its surroundings” and the area around Champs d’Elysees were declared off limits following two nights of intense public protest against French President Emmanuel Macron’s deeply unpopular decision to introduce neoliberal pension reforms without parliamentary approval.

Police said 61 demonstrators were arrested in the forbidden zones on Friday after throwing bottles and fireworks at the heavily armored officers, who had arrived to disperse the thousands-strong crowd. Police responded with volleys of tear gas. Another 36 were arrested in Lyon after protesters allegedly tried to break into and burn down a town hall.

France pension reform: Macron's government survives no-confidence vote

21 march 2023

The French government has narrowly survived a vote of no-confidence, which was triggered when it forced through an increase in the pension age to 64.

It sparked new anti-government protests in Paris, where 101 people were arrested after stand-offs with police.

The vote, tabled by centrist MPs, had 278 votes in favour, falling short of the 287 votes needed.

Had it been successful, President Emmanuel Macron would have had to name a new government or call new elections.

A second no-confidence motion, tabled by Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party, also did not pass.

Now both votes have failed, the controversial bill to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 will become law.

The votes were held after Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne used a special constitutional power, called Article 49:3, to push the bill through without a vote last week.

It sparked angry protests at the weekend, with some demonstrators clashing with police and blocking streets with debris fires in central Paris, as well as cities around the country.

As Macon goes full dictator, will the EU condemn France’s slide from democracy? Don’t count on it


Macron has survived a no-confidence vote, but his pension reform may mark the beginning of the end

March 20, 2023
editor: REMIX NEWS author: JOHN CODY



After French President Emmanuel Macron’s surprise move to ram through his unpopular pension reform scheme without a single vote, the move will have long-lasting implications for France and its entire system of democracy. It also raises the question: How will the EU react to this in-your-face authoritarian move?

Both the optics and the practical reality of Macron’s decision to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 by decree are disastrous, and they represent not just a loss of legitimacy for Macron but likely also for Brussels. Macron, however, knows the EU will make no move to condemn his country, slap him with sanctions, or call out the “democratic deficit” in France despite his naked display of power. In fact, the EU’s technocratic elites are privately cheering on pension reform, a move they have enforced in a wide array of southern countries in exchange for bailouts in the past.

It is also true that Macron technically has the power, according to the constitution, to bypass parliament, but it ultimately raises questions about whether France can even be called a democracy to begin with, especially when it relates to an agenda that the French public are passionately opposed to.

In fact, the polling around the issue makes Macron’s move all the more shocking.

Between 72 percent and 75 percent of the country was opposed to pension reform. Not only that, the French clearly want more, not less, democratic input when it comes to pension reform, with 75 percent saying they want a referendum on the issue. A whopping 78 percent are against Macron using Article 49.3 of the constitution to unilaterally push through pension reform.

However, much like mass immigration, which France has more of than ever before, the French are getting exactly what they do not want, all thanks to “democracy.”

The public backlash to Macron has been palpable, with hundreds if not thousands of arrests already made across the country following his dictatorial decree. Unions are promising to ramp up protests, gas stations are already running short of fuel, and Macron may soon face what is perhaps the worst crisis of his reign, including a new wave of “Yellow Vest” protests.

This brings us to Viktor Orbán. His country, Hungary, is currently facing rule-of-law sanctions from the EU worth billions over so-called democratic deficits and backsliding, yet he remains immensely popular in his country. His approval is still hovering over 50 percent, while Macron lingers at 26 percent. Borderline psychotic partisan politicians like German Green MEP Daniel Freund, who shows an unhealthy obsession with Orbán with non-stop posts about Hungary on Twitter, has not made a single peep about Macron, instead continuing to focus his ire on Orbán, despite “democracy.”

He is emblematic of the entire EU establishment.

‘Macron has taken the Republic hostage’ – As France descends into chaos, Marine Le Pen vows to lower French pension age if she becomes president


After Macron forced the retirement age from 62 to 64, Le Pen says she will allow some workers to retire as early as 60 if elected president

As France descends into deep turmoil over French President Emmanuel Macron’s decree to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote in parliament, French leader of the opposition National Rally party, Marine Le Pen, is promising a just pension reform if elected president.

She says that her version of pension reform will offer an equitable pension, unlike the one envisaged by Macron, which will bring justice to workers.

“I would now remind the French that in order to obtain a reform of pensions in the other direction, we must vote the next time around. Because, as far as I’m concerned, when I say he (Macron) has taken the Republic hostage, I want to implement my pension reform that will allow the French to retire at 60 after 40 to 42 years of work if they started before age 20, and at the age of 62 at a maximum. Now, that would be a just pension reform,” said Le Pen during an interview with LCP.

Protests in France may impact King Charles’ visit - Buckingham Palace source


Reuters



LONDON/PARIS, March 22 (Reuters) - Protests in France may impact the logistics for a planned state visit by Britain's King Charles next week, a Buckingham Palace source said on Wednesday.

"We are keeping a close eye on the situation, and are taking advice from the FCDO and the French side," the source said, referring to the British foreign ministry. "There may be an impact on logistics."

The source said that the visit was not at risk.

President Emmanuel Macron will look to "calm things down" amid growing anger across France over his plans to raise the retirement age.

Rubbish bins and barricades were set ablaze on Tuesday in spontaneous protests in Paris and elsewhere across the country in a sixth night of scuffles with police.

King Charles is due to arrive in France on Sunday for a state visit, his first since becoming monarch.

France protests said to be ‘out of control’


Police clashed with over a million demonstrators opposed to President Macron’s pension reform



French authorities struggled on Thursday to suppress the protests against President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform. Over a million demonstrators took to the streets across the country in what some security sources described as an “insurrection” against the government in Paris.

Tens of thousands of workers went on strike and protesters blocked public transportation, schools and oil refineries. Attempting to break up the protests, police used tear gas, water cannons, flash-bangs and batons. Videos making rounds on social media showed heavily armored officers clubbing unarmed demonstrators.

Macron under pressure to find way out of pension crisis after night of clashes


By Elizabeth Pineau and Dominique Vidalon



PARIS, March 24 (Reuters) - President Emmanuel Macron was under pressure on Friday to find a way out of a crisis that has seen some of France's worst street violence in years over a pension bill he has pushed through parliament without a vote.

In Paris and many cities across the country, clean-up crews sifted through broken glass, charred garbage cans and shattered bus stops after violent clashes overnight between black-clad anarchists and police. A tag on an ATM read: "Paris is burning."

Some 441 police officers were injured and 475 people were arrested. Dozens of protesters were also injured, including a woman who lost a thumb in the Normandy town of Rouen.

French police abused protesters – human rights commission


Demonstrators and journalists were arbitrarily arrested and subjected to extreme tactics, the CNCDH says

The french police have been criticized by the country's national human rights commission over the handling of a recent nationwide wave of anti-government demonstrations.

A statement by the the French National Consultative Commission on Human Rights (CNCDH) issued on Thursday claims peaceful protesters were herded into “traps” and summarily arrested during rallies against President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to increase the national retirement age.

Of the 292 protesters arrested on March 16 in Paris, only nine were prosecuted, indicating “an excessive use of police custody” in order to stifle legitimate protest, the organization claimed.

Two journalists, whom the CNCDH pointed out are not required to comply with police orders to disperse, were arrested at a protest the following day.

Protesters set fire to Bordeaux town hall amid anger over pension reform


Violent protests rock Paris, many other cities in France, says local media
Ahmet Gencturk | 23.03.2023 - Update : 24.03.2023

Protesters angered by the government’s forcing through of plans to raise France’s retirement age set fire to the town hall in Bordeaux on Thursday in the latest of a series of violent protests that are rocking the country.

A rally against the controversial reform kicked off in the afternoon in Paris with the participation of violent groups.

It marked the ninth day of a planned mobilization since January, with thousands of workers protesting and walking out in various sectors, including transportation, energy and education.

Violent groups infiltrated a parade in Paris and engaged in vandalism and set fire to dumpsters and trash, according to an Anadolu correspondent on the ground.

While the demonstrations in the capital were relatively peaceful in the beginning, they soon got off course and turned violent when groups set fire to building gates.

Police used tear gas to disperse them.
