EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC
https://twitter.com/FRANCE24/status/1092061787854331904?s=19

quote:

According to French weekly Journal du Dimanche (JDD), which cited a number of unnamed sources in the young leader’s entourage, the ballot papers have already been “pre-ordered” and everyone is now awaiting Macron’s green light to set the machinery for the May 26 referendum in motion. The vote would in that case coincide with the European Parliament elections.

“We’ve taken all the necessary measures,” one source was quoted as saying, while another said that “the chances of a May 26 referendum happening are very high”.

The referendum is likely to contain several questions, inquiring on a number of economic, social and socio-economic issues, and would be the first of its kind in the French Fifth Republic’s history. JDD speculated that such questions might include whether France needs to reduce its number of lawmakers, and whether their mandates should be shortened.

Oh actually doing the referendum.

Doesn't matter, French people historically never answer the government's questions in the referendum and just use the referendum to question the government and ask them why they are still there.

Sorry, i saw 200+ version of your post on twitter already, i felt the need to shout my frustration here.
But seriously, it's not because "Brexit referendum" is all you heard for the last 2 years, that all referendums are about quitting the eu... even if Macron could be stupid enough to put frexit on the table, assuming(wrongly i think) the Remain vote would win and gain him some political clout. No, he is stupid enough to try a FREXIT scenario and fail, so loving stop playing with my nerves shouting "FREXIT", thanks.

So another fellow got his hand blown off today in front of the Assemblée Nationale

I feel like poo poo that I'm not marching today. My companion is really scared (she went to the demonstration on tuesday and got frightened by a crs charge) and she really really doesn't want me to go, but I feel like poo poo.

It is but at the same time it isn't bc all the media is basically owned by big capital interests.

In the USA 4-5 companies control 90% of all media in any format and it's probably no better in Europe

This isn't America with the stupid two parties system, some people lost the presidential election's second round and won it later. Mitterand (who lost on the second round twice: first against DeGaulle and then against Giscard) and Chirac (who lost it against Mitterand) both ended up president after their defeat. Her dad was a candidate since 1974 before even reaching the second round in 2002.
