Never trust the French. You will end up married to a man in a dress and an ugly wig.
Pavel Durov said that he was lured to France by President Macron. It turns out that the French president invited Durov to dine together. Pavel told about this during interrogation by the police, the French newspaper Le Canard Chainé claims. But instead of lunch, Durov was met in France by local police. Macron did not officially confirm this. But local politician Florian Philippot said that this was quite in the spirit of the French president.
it’s now official, in a just-released communiqué Macron has rejected a government led by the New Popular Front (NPF).
It’s an unprecedented situation in the history of the 5th French Republic: the loser in the election effectively rejects yielding power to the winner. He explains it by the fact that his “responsibility is to ensure that the country be neither blocked nor weakened”, arguing that were he to nominate a NPF government they’d soon be censored by parliament and destituded.
That may be the case but still this awfully inconvenient fact remains: Macron’s party got way less votes and MPs than the NPF, yet it is Macron’s party that’s still running the French government, and it is Macron himself making choices on who can or cannot assume power based on what he thinks would “weaken France” or not. It’s insane when you think about it.
Quite an incredible move in French politics today that might reveal that we’re in fact witnessing nothing less than a coup by Macron.
