France General Discussion II: Living under Marxism

Sarko is under arrest.

When will he FINALLY go to jail???

It's gonna take a long time, but the only thing that matters is that all this process is going to drag in long enough to sink any hope of a candidacy in 2017.

Has anywhere else in Europe saw their presidential frontrunner under arrest for two elections in a row? DSK, now Sarko.

Maybe Italia??? I'm not sure.

An another sarkothon?

Looks like the Senate returns to conservative control.

Expected.
And seriously, the PS didn't control the senate before.

The glorious right-wing economy minister wants to gut unemployment insurance (this is the same rich moron who said that workers in some plant were 'illiterates'): http://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2014/10/12/macron-relance-le-debat-de-la-reforme-de-l-assurance-chomage_4504807_823448.html

Can this government be any more of a joke?

A shame the "frondeurs" just abstained

Well, if they had voted against and the clown show had lost, then we would be having snap elections which would inevitably result in a cohabitation with the other clown show, the UMP.

Of course. But I just prefer to be f***** by the right than my own party...

What's going on with Melonchon and Assassins Creed?

The game depicts Robespierre as an evil dictator, but, for some reason, the far-left in France likes to consider him like an hero.

Is the UMP going to become the leftist party in the Assembly?

[windjammer]

If he can only get to 20% under such conditions, he's toast.

Poll made before the "big demonstration"

The Macron law is terrible. Hopefully, Valls and Macron will resign one day.

(Sir John Johns, please, check your PMs)

Lmao

Wooow,
It appears that Hollande handled the greek crisis quite positively. Glad to see he doesn't always f*** up.

[windjammer]

Le Pen is a bit declining.

[windjammer]

Also, Macron resigned from Economy Minister. It seems the media buzz about how his potential presidential bid would be so cool, modern and refreshing, got to his head and he started believing it. Good. His fall is only going to be more entertaining.

According to some rumors, Valls is going to resign
