"What's the point of shouting 'Macron Resign!' everywhere when you can fire him"

MARINE LE PEN MAKING A CAMPAIGN SPEECH THURSDAY 4/21/2022

Marine Le Pen made her pitch for votes trying to reach and unify the anti-Macron vote in France embodied in Yellow Vests protests demanding he leave office with many protesters coming from a left-wing perspective.

Meanwhile the leader of the "Left" in France Jean-Luc Melenchon trotted out before the cameras this week in France with mainstream media demanding he endorse Emmanuel Macron over Marine Le Pen.

Melenchon denounced Le Pen but could not offer up praise for Macron, he also indicated that those who voted for him in the First Round (21.95 percent) should not vote Le Pen tomorrow.

So at least Melenchon gave the media most of what they wanted inspiring his supporters to turn out in big numbers for the legislative elections in June to vote for him "to be Prime Minister".

THIS SATURDAY THE PROTESTS CONTINUE.    THIS VIDEO OF YELLOW VESTS GATHERING IN PARIS...TEMPORARY LIVE VIDEO YELLOW VESTS PARIS WEEK 180 4/23/2022 (VIDEO REMOVED AFTER LIVE STREAM)

THE YELLOW VESTS AND OTHER CAUSES REPRESENTED IN THE MARCH THROUGH THE STREETS OF PARIS TODAY INCLUDING OPPOSITION TO VACCINE PASSPORTS THE GOVERNMENT RELAXING COVID MEASURES LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION THIS MONTH....

Bread and butter economic issues on the minds of the Yellow Vests at the traffic circle in Villenueve-sur-Lot today pensions and taxes.

Emmanuel Macron struck a nerve during his first term with planned "reform" of   "retraits (pensions)".

Macron backing away from increasing the retirement age and cutting pensions now telling voters he will look at it in 2027 clearly interesting in appeasing for the final round of voting tomorrow.

The protesters today coming out in the rain...

Getting back to Paris this group of protesters focused on truth regarding COVID and health freedom as they marched through the streets...VIDEO LINK

Meanwhile in Bordeaux the protest called one that opposes both Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron the banner at the head of the march read:

                            "Resistances"

                                                   or

                              "Resistance"

The Palestinian flag also visible at this and other protests in France today...

Meanwhile southwest of Paris in Blois a very traditional form of Yellow Vests protest the takeover of a toll station on a privately owned highway sold to private interests by the government.

The takeover meant toll free travel for motorists on the highway...

And the election tomorrow and what will come in its aftermath as far as protest is concerned.   We shall see.

That's the story of France and the Yellow Vests for this week.
