That is a glorious OP.

Any bets on how long Hulot will last before he's strangled by France's agricultural interests?

Sounds about right. I was at least very happy to see the back of Segolene Royale; I'd have thought she'd have turncoated her way to EM has well.

She has!
She's been given a sinecure created by Sarko for Rocard "ambassadrice chargée des pôles arctique et antarctique", aka ambassador to penguins.

Wait. What the gently caress?

Is that a full-time, remunerated gig? Do you have a few more details?

And here I was thinking that the French were all effete wine-drinking socialists.

Nope, they're just as mean, spiteful and nasty as everybody else. The wine is better though.

What's going on with all these African interventions that France is involved in? I assume they are protecting some business interests/resource extractions?

Well, if you believe the Brussels' scuttlebutt, he's got a boyfriend somewhere stashed in the city here.

They'll pretty much have to raze everything to the ground to reduce the spending by an equivalent amount

Nah, they can always use the poors for live bone marrow extraction and export. They've always got a few centimes hidden away in their benefits packages.

Also blaming foreigners works.

does it really take ~8.5k euro a month for macron to have his face done up like this?

With labour costs, yeah pretty quickly.

I do find it hilarious that the media narrative has already started shifting from "GREAT WHILE CENTRIST HOPE OF EUROPE" to "yet another no-hoper".

I'm sorry I despise Macron with all my being but I can't give a poo poo about something as ridiculous as the piddly amount of money it takes to keep him looking human on TV.

Please remember to take a day off on the 12th of September so that you can march against his shitass labour reform tho!

Nah, me neither. If he didn't do the makeup thing the papers would write "he looks ill and unhealthy, is he dying?"

But they were doing that whole thing where they're like: LOOK OVER HERE WE'RE BANNING GLYPHOSATE! Look at the shiny present, don't look at the shitbag labour reforms!

I'm so surprised it's not working.
