Shock Poll:
Le Pen Party Could Gain Outright Majority in National Assembly if Snap Election Called in France
In 2018, the Yellow Vest movement — Named after the yellow safety vests French motorists are required to keep in their vehicles — threw the country into chaos as hundreds of thousands protested for months against Macron’s attempts to impose burdensome carbon taxes, which would have had a disproportionate impact on the working-class people, particularly commuters.
More recently, weeks of farmer protests shut down major highways throughout France amid a Europe-wide uprising against the Green New Deal agenda, globalist free trade schemes, and mountains of regulations and paperwork threatening the ability of farmers throughout the bloc to stay in business.
For Djaïz, the approach taken by France and Europe as a whole during Macron’s tenure as one of its leading figures has alienated the public with the burdens of the green agenda being disproportionately placed on the working classes through stifling regulations and regressive taxation schemes.
The former civil servant argued in his latest book, La Révolution Obligée (The Necessary Revolution), that green proponents in Europe should focus less on restrictions but rather on building up Europe’s industrial base, such as battery factories, in order to compete with the likes of Communist China and the United States.
“Europe is far behind… Today, China controls the entire electric battery chain, it is flooding Europe with electric cars. There is an urgent need to rearm on an industrial level,” he said in February.
Some have suggested that this more economic populist-oriented approach could be a blueprint for a future centre-left coalition after President Macron’s second and final term comes to an end in 2027 with no clear successor in place, with the possible exception of political neophyte Gabrial Attal, who was installed earlier this year as Macron’s prime minister.
The photogenic and well-spoken Djaïz has also been pointed to as a potential leader of such a political movement. However, the 33-year-old may have to wait for some time if he hopes to ascend to the Élysee Palace, with many predicting that the growing anger over Macron’s neo-liberal governance potentially leading to an opening for populist National Rally firebrand Marine Le Pen to finally break through and become president.
