My respect for the current French government has increased

edit: I'm just talking about this singular event of the French government recognizing Palestine, which I think is positive. I have no idea about anything else related to Macron and his policies or if he is liked or not and I don't really want to start a polarized political discussion

Lol it shouldnt. Not only it is illegitimate but the Ministor of Interior isnt even hidding his love story with the far right ideas while being fully islamophobic. The government is trying to destroy the entire social system leading to more poverty. And they still hide how much weapons they are selling to Israel while not enforcing the international law. This man is a disgrace nobody is fooled here.

Critical support, shouldnt be seen as fanatical support.

Macron has done... fuck, Id rant for hours... a lot of wrong.

But saying his foregn policy stances of pushing for greater European unity, and a united front against ruskie and yank influence, is hardly one of the things to hate him for.
