And by him, I mean Emmanuel Macron, who has just had one of his signature achievements, the shafting of the average French worker through pension "reform" suspended by a vote of the French National Assembly.
I guess that his campaign to make bankers great again is not going well.
Lawmakers in France's National Assembly on Wednesday approved a measure to suspend a controversial pension reform plan by 255 votes to 146.
The vote followed a major concession by Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to the Socialist Party to avoid censure and thus ensure the government's survival.
French budget debates have taken on added weight since President Emmanuel Macron's snap election last year left him with a hung parliament, where fractious lawmakers toppled former Prime Minister Michel Barnier over last year's spending plans.………
One of the biggest trade-offs was offering the Socialists – a pivotal swing bloc – a suspension of Macron's plan to raise the pension age to 64.
The EU seems to be dedicated to sh%$#ing on ordinary working folk so as to benefit large financial institutions, and Macron is at the forefront of this.
Nice to see him lose.
