Macron is a WEF puppet and has steered France down a slippery path at the expense of the legitimate citizens.

At least he's not as incompetent and corrupt as Canada's Justin Trudeau, but it is time for him to go.
Every French president gets hate, but Macron has become the symbol of growing inequalities in France. He's also not as democratic as he pretends to be and is the reason why politics in France are doomed.

The Newcomers

This French artist, who was the frontman of French rock band Noir Désir, went from icon to murderer after he was found guilty of murdering his then-girlfriend, French actress Marie Trintignant, in 2003. He was sentenced to 8 years in jail but was released early in 2007 for good conduct.

In late 2015, the "sextape blackmail" scandal broke out and tarnished his reputation. This caused him to be blacklisted by Didier Deschamps from the French national team between 2015 and 2021.
