Macron is the President, not the PM, so he doesn’t have to leave. Moreover, he’s the only one who can appoint a new PM, so all the NFP can do is put forward a candidate and hope His Majesty Macron deems him/her to be worthy. The whole situation is essentially a soft coup by Macron and his party, there’s no way around it
The math is a bit more complicated since there are multiple tax brackets below 400k, but that’s the general idea yeah
It doesn’t even work like that: only the “extra” revenue above 400k would be subject to the 90% tax, everything below that would still be subject to standard tax rates
No, RN is third by number of seats, with NFP (united left) being first and Ensemble (center-right) being second
I might be stereotypical but I, for one, sure hope the left sticks to its program and doesn’t compromise itself by allying with the so-called centrists. They’ve been calling us antisemites, chaos agents and extremists for the whole campaign, and the last 7 years of Macron speak for themselves regarding the centrists inability to support left-wing policies.
The best thing that could happen for the fascists is facing a coalition too mild to do anything meaningful for the people, and being able to say “See? The Left has betrayed you!” next elections
Just out of curiosity, is it commonly thought outside of France that Macron is anywhere close to left-wing ?
He’s been campaigning for a week on a plateforme that’s basically just “The left is just as bad as the far right”, several of his ministers have clearly stated that they would vote blank in case of a duel between the left and the far-right in the runoffs, and he’s repeatedly called the left a “danger for democracy”
You seem to be under the impression that Macron is fine with the left winning.
He’s definitely not: he’s been viciously attacking the left for years now, and has just last Sunday accused them of being antisemitic, antirepublican and antiparlentarist.
His Minister of Justice said in an interview that, in case of a duel between the left and the far-right during the election runoffs, he would vote for neither.
His prime minister keeps saying in Interviews that the left represents chaos for the country.
What Mélenchon thinks is of little consequence. All the left parties have put together the baselines of a common program, and supporting Ukraine is a big part of it.
Mélenchon is too disliked by the rest of the left to be considered for PM if it comes to that anyway, and all other potentiel candidates are strongly in favour of helping Ukraine.
Ah. No, what he basically did is gamble on the fact that the left couldn’t unite and that his candidates would face against the far-right, so he could once again campaign on the platform of “The only two options are me or the fascists”.
The fact that the left managed to put aside their differences and unite completely took him by surprise and he now has to actually campaign. His main argument now is that the left is just as bad as the far-right and that he’s the only reasonable person in the room.
You were right to think he didn’t have it in him, because he definitely doesn’t.
You should probably specify which country you’re from
Thank you for that, my brain was stuck on “Chupacabra”
Selling only DRM-free games has always be GOG’s whole thing (well, that and selling oldies compatible with modern OS), it’s weird that this meme specifically would be considered “aknowledging piracy”
Too late, I’ve now gotten 20% more obnoxiously french
No offense intended since I’m fully incapable of pronouncing tons of English words properly (fuck “squirrel” specifically), but as a Frenchman who has lived near Mulhouse for a few years and interacted with a lot of foreign students, what you said probably wasn’t close to being the exact same as that guy
That is the face of a man 1 BJ away from passing out
Who would win in a fight? A half-naked militiaman with a bronze sword or a soldier in full armor with a steel katana?
Don’t get me wrong, Greek hoplites were great in formation for their time period, but the individual spartan was basically just a decently fit dude
Oh I like people having fun at work as well, what I don’t like is corporate communications trying to weirdly mimic people having fun at work. Maybe I’m just too cynical, but I often find these jokey comms to be souless and artificial and almost never feel like they’re genuinely having fun
I wish brands would stop trying to be funny
And this, gentlepeople, is the definition of toxic masculinity
