Macron update

Now that he's been at the controls of France for about 18 months, Macron's popularity among his electorate seem to have hit a rough patch, especially since the “yellow vests” have shown their resolve to oppose the fiscal squeeze that the French government is exerting on them.

In March 2017, I wrote “Macron is the quintessential French Technocrat. He piles up words that are meaningless. Since he has no program per se, he is smart enough to agree almost 100% with whatever Fillon says and as the later is the only one who has a sensible platform, Macron shows his intellectual clarity.”

Well, I should have added that Emanuel Macron should have developed and worked on his salesmanship skills so he could sugar-coated his reforms. Instead, he acting on his plans, short of educating and convincing his numerous supporters to make it palatable for them and to convince them that his medicine would be bitter for just a short while.

But again most my countrymen all crave for reforms, but too few are ready to be directly part of them.
