BREAKING NEWS: FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 24 MACRON SPEAKS, POLLING PAINTS A MUDDY PICTURE
(LATEST NEWS AT THE BOTTOM)
For Emmanuel Macron proposing income tax cuts and pensions adjusted for inflation seemed to be the right response to the Yellow Vests.
But the early polling shows deep distrust and disbelief over his plans. A poll for BFM-TV reveals that 65 percent were not convinced by his proposals. Only 37 percent considered his proposals credible.
77 percent of those polled believed that Macron has not responded to the Yellow Vests with his proposals announced before the media Thursday evening.
(1015 PM EASTERN, 415 AM FRANCE)
A rainy day forecast Saturday in France. That may impact Yellow Vests crowds.
Polling data before Macron's speech probably left him feeling comfortable coming out to speak because the polling said 60 percent of the people in France wanted the Yellow Vests protests to stop.
But majorities of supporters of two political parties think the Yellow Vests should carry on.
The Left "France Insubordinate" party supporters and supporters of the main opposition party, Marine Le Pen's National Rally, both very much in favor of a continuation of the protest, no doubt with their own reasons.
The Left for the sake of rebellion and the National Rally for the sake of gasoline tax relief and help for rural France, which has been hurt by President Macron's policies.
Polling for the European Parliament elections next month now shows National Rally at 24 percent with Macron's LaRem party at 21 percent.
(2 AM EASTERN, 8 AM FRANCE)
Looking at the political polling more we see "Les Republicans (The Republicans)" the new name for the old party of the "Right" back at 14 percent and further back than that we see a split and divided Left in France with the old Socialists at 6 percent, the "Green" faction around 8.5 percent and the "France Insubordinate" ex-Communist Left of Jean-Luc Melenchon around 7.5 percent.
Melenchon outspoken in his support of Yellow Vests protests.
But what has happened to the Left. The "Socialists" talk social leftism like LGBTQ and advocate open borders to bring in cheap labor and hurt working people. The "climate change" Green left wants to tax little people to "save the planet".
That looks like a ploy to shift the tax structure away from corporations onto working people.
Where do working people go when political parties are failing their interests and supporting business interests instead?
The "Left" of Melenchon and his militancy or in some other direction. Some former working class voters see Marine Le Pen and the National Rally wanting to limit immigration and speaking out against big corporations hurting working people so they happen to end up there.
Some voters on the Left also seduced into supporting Macron even though his end game is pro-business he can fool a few.
'So that's the political analysis, more on Saturday's (Today's) protest in minutes.....
