Talk:Emmanuel Macron
Leftist commie[edit]
Leftist commie Macron?. Seriously. --93.191.139.9 (talk) 18:52, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
- They don't literally say that, but they refuse to admit his centrist, and their article goes on a tangent. —вιgℓʝвιgℓ (ᴛᴀʟᴋ/sᴛᴀʟᴋ) 15:49, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- He's a run of the mill slightly right of center centrist that has managed to pass himself off as a slightly left of center centrist due to the current political climate. Evil Zionist (talk) 18:28, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
A supporter's point of view[edit]
Note: I am pro-Macron and French, so if I am not being objective please tell me. Moreover, my sources are mostly in French; although I found some in English, I can't guarantee the websites that provide them are as trustworthy as the French sources.
"The Good" seems a bit weak to me. It would be worth mentioning:
-his project to put a bonus/penalty system in place on the subject of unfixed/fixed term contracts, to encourage companies to make less of the latter and more of the former (https://www.archynetys.com/business/emmanuel-macron-puts-the-bonus-penalty-on-the-table-to-fight-against-the-abuse-of-cdd/);
-his ambition to create an european minimum wage (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-minimum-wage-eu-labour-european-commission-a8908761.html);
-the progressive removal of the housing tax for most households (https://parispropertygroup.com/blog/2017/macron-announces-changes-impacting-real-estate-in-paris/) ;
-or the opening of medically-assisted procreation to all women (https://www.france24.com/en/20180925-france-bioethics-body-backs-medically-assisted-reproduction-all-women-lesbian-couples), among other things.
And this begs a question: is it just to say that Macron is a neoliberal? Although one could say he is more right-wing than left-wing, he is definitely no Thatcher.
I'm not doing the modifications right away because it's my first time contributing to an article on this website, so I'd rather not take the risk to do something stupid. — Unsigned, by: Qqun / talk / contribs
- I would say he is a neolibreal and I know others who agree, but by all means feel free to improve the article. — Dysk (contribs) 21:04, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
- Macron's long term goal is the destruction of French public services. He's not intolerant to the point of extremism or ultra-liberal, but he is economically liberal. New world (talk) 16:37, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- (And the new system of employee-employer relations has destroyed the code du travail, critics say. Unemployment still increased again after 2022. And the entire thing with removing taxes seems to have backfired, look at our ginormous debt, and we didn't do it for social justice and more rights for the exploited, we did made that debt out of gifts to the super-rich. And a minimum wage existing on a European scale is good, but for France's internal affairs I doubt it's a great gift to have a minimum wage: what type of logic is that? We could also say we have retirement, workplaces, and the right to vote! But we want more rights to balance the system, the heirs of Elon Musk have way more).

Trout face[edit]
Will there be a mention of the slapping incident (presumably no trout were used, on health and safety grounds). Anna Livia (talk) 15:26, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
