Demonstrators accuse Emmanuel Macron of perpetrating ‘denial of democracy’ by choosing conservative politician
Thousands of angry leftwing protesters took to French streets on Saturday two days after Emmanuel Macron appointed a conservative prime minister.
Demonstrators accused the president of a “denial of democracy” after his decision to name the former EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, 73, as leader of the government.
The appointment came two months after a snap general election left France with a hung parliament formed of three roughly equal blocs – the New Popular Front (NFP), a leftwing alliance; the centre, including Macron’s Renaissance party and the centre-right; and the far-right National Rally (RN) – none of which had a majority.
I find it hilarious how liberals will literally always side with the fascists rather than side with the leftists and have their wealth threatened.
35Even more hilarious is the amount of people who believed Macron when he said he wasn't right wing.

Over 100.000 according to france info.
30Hey, maybe this Putin-sucking asshat will try to negotiate a Frexit now.
Conservatism is a toxic social cancer that needs to be eradicated.
