Le Pen losing was no surprise. In the end, even the hard left will get behind the middle left to keep the right wing out of power.

So. Again, the French know what's best for France. We don't.

So I can play Devil's advocate and explain why a liberal French would not want Le Penn, but what are the arguments against Macron, from a liberal's perspective? I am assuming these are liberals protesting against Macron.

Also the protest seems fairly small, especially for Paris standards.

The election losers in France act just like the election losers in the US.


Whoulda thunk it?

Or as Paris calls it, Monday. Last I was in Paris, the driving instructors (really!) were protesting for some reason, and there were more than a few hundred.
