It's out of the question. Macron is finishing out his second five-year term as French President that ends in May 2027.
Idk.
Even Holland says these protestor are huge and insane and he saw plenty
You keep shouting this, but not backing it up.

No gas again *sigh*
Macron will never resign unless he's physically dragged out of office; he doesn't care about parliament or the senate or unions or people, he consult no one but his sycophants when making new law and pass them without asking anyone else opinion.
The reality is that protesting is an exercise in futility, you either physically kick him out or you do nothing, he's made it very clear how little he care about legitimate opposition. He barely, barely even pay lip service to democratic process anymore (He at least let them discuss and vote before pressing on with an executive order, lol).

Well, let us hope that the French will be willing to physically remove him from office. It would be darkly amusing; even more so if it starts off a wave of other European countries doing the same. It would be a very neat repeat of the French Revolution- though hopefully, the French people can avoid a Robespierre-style Reign of Terror this time around.

Plus Macron is term limited from seeking reelection to third term as French President in 2027.
He can always over rule that law you know that right?
Is it time for a "European Spring?"

Lord I hope so. Hopefully it’ll end better then the Arab one.

I think Sarkozy was the one, who put that in place.
Yes, the French are being French. Why is anyone surprised?
And no, Macron isn't at fault. The French people as a whole are at fault with their fucking idiotic ideas about work.
His great offense? Upping the retirement age to qualify for a full, government backed, pension from 62 to 64.

Look, he is at fault because he has abused his power and the French are getting tired of it.
No, he didn't. His actions were 100% legal under French law and the French constitution.
It's just that the rioters don't like the law and so are resorting to violence in an attempt to achieve a political end that they desire. There is a word for using illegal violence to achieve political ends; terrorism.
