French President Macron's annuity reform has extended the retirement age from 62 to 64, causing a Great riot in Paris, and demonstrations and police conflicts spread to France.
From January to the end of March this year, there are nine protests and gaps and marches that oppose annuity reform.The people participating in the struggle reported from 1 million to 3.5 million, which can be said to be amazing!
All parts of France, especially Paris, present the scene of "revolutionary riots": paralysis of traffic, robbery of goods, fire burning, school closure, soil bombs and tear gas flying!
The riots in Paris can be said to be the "romantic" revolutionary feelings of the French, originated from the French Revolution in 1789.In addition to attacking the buses prison at the time, bleeding conflicts occurred, more than 100,000 people were killed, and even cut off their heads. Although the French struggle, although it was one of the elements of romanticism (such as bloody opera), violence became FranceExpressive characteristics of mass movement.
French President Macron will become a traditional French struggle, just like Louis XIV is more concentrated (from the Sun King Le Roi Soleil, absolute kingship.Riot); or like Louis XVI (at that time in France had a financial and debt crisis, the people were generally dissatisfied, and the French Revolution eventually broke out), was it sent to the broken side to cut off his head?of course not!Macron was opposed by almost two -thirds of the French this time, and his reputation dropped to 28%, but his cabinet still passed the barrier after two unscrupulous votes.Therefore, it is obvious that Macron will not give up easily.
But in the face of the national people who oppose the reform of the annuity, regardless of the extreme left and rational and gentle right, they continue to plan to mobilize the 10th April 6th.Macron will launch an annuity reform in 2019, and is strongly opposed. Does it stop at the end?
Macron's annuity reform is the administrative power given by Article 49 (3) of the French Constitution to avoid the voting of the legislative power of the National Parliament and promote annuity reform.Today, only when I hope that the National Constitutional Committee in mid -April, it is determined that the French administrative official is unconstitutional, and the annuity reform of Macron will be blocked.
Another possible way is to mobilize citizen votes in the wild forces.However, whether it is the National Constitutional Commission will make a decision or the promotion of voting by citizens, it seems that it cannot prevent the tradition of accumulation accumulated in French social history: the street revolution of violence.
The slogan of the French Revolution is: freedom, equality, and love.But in the practice of French political development, the real core issue is "equality."Extending the age of retirement, Macron's ideal and beliefs are the economic and fiscal crisis brought about by France in the future due to the retirement system, and this is also a problem that all the developed countries are currently facing.
But extending the retirement age means that the working life is extended. For staff who need to consume physical, such as transportation operators, ordinary workers, especially garbage cleansing workers, they will feel that it is not fair to increase the time of exploitation.It is treated, so it is necessary to fight.They shouted: Why not levy rich taxes?It is the protest of social inequality!
Faced with the struggle of millions of people, Macron chose to adhere to his belief in his social reform. Especially when he participated in the French presidential election, his "human settings" was a neutral social reformeer.
But in the face of most Chinese people's opposition to his annuity reform, in political forces, Macron's reform is not supported by the right and is not trusted by the left. Can Macron be challenged?
Paris, the political and economic center of France, will continue to continue the "French Revolution" tradition of more than one million mass movements every few years. Facing French political scholars criticizing French society is already "broken democracy", "the crisis of democracy,"Macron is the monarch who lives in the Elysee Palace." The French will "enter the sixth Republic" in the 21st century to "enter the sixth republic" for constitutional reform, or continue to perform the romantic damage of the mass revolution?
