The honeymoon period seemed to end for the new French president President Emmanuel Macron after a difficult month, which saw the July 19 resignation of a highly-regarded military chief, General Pierre de Villiers(R) , following a public row over military spending cuts.

French President Emmanuel Macron’s approval rating fell 10% in July, just three months after he swept into power on a tide of antipathy towards mainstream parties.

An IFOP poll, published on Sunday in the Journal du Dimanche newspaper, found 54% of people in France were satisfied with Macron in July, compared to 64% in June. The last time a French president had lost that much ground in three months was in 1995, when Jacques Chirac’s approval rating fell by 20%, Journal du Dimanche reports.

Marcon enjoyed strong popularity scores over his handling of international encounters, particularly for the way he dealt with U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

The honeymoon period seemed to end after a difficult month, which saw the July 19 resignation of a highly-regarded military chief, General Pierre de Villiers, following a public row over military spending cuts. Macron has also been criticized for making plans to cut housing benefits and overruling his prime minister by promising to go forward with tax cuts next year, Reuters reports.

Weeks after Macron’s presidential victory, his fledgling political movement En Marche won a commanding parliamentary majority in June.

      Since the attacker this time was identified as Ahmad Alhaw, a 26-year-old Palestinian we must change attitude toward Palestinian arabs in BRD.

      The case with the 26-year-old Palestinian has reopened debate on deportation procedures.
      There is “no evidence” pointing that Ahmad Alhaw is being mentally unfit to stand trial.

      Olaf Scholz (Hamburg Mayor) said the attack had been motivated by “hate”.

    Ahmad Alhaw the Edeka-Killer pleads guilty!

    The accused Ahmad A. filed a confession in the criminal case for the Islamist-led knife attack in a Hamburg supermarket five months and a half ago. “Mr. A. explains that he assumes responsibility for the most serious crimes committed by him,” said defender Christoph Burchard before the Hamburg Higher Regional Court. The 26-year-old confessed to “explicitly guilty of all charges”. The process had begun in the morning under high security.

    The prosecution accuses the Palestinian Ahmad A. Mord as well as attempting murder and dangerous assault in six cases.

    Ahmad A., the assassin from Hamburg, was proud of what he had done.

    An innocent man stabbed, six other passers-by, severely injured.
    He wanted to kill Christians and adolescents, according to the Palestinian in his police operation, and really regret not having killed even more people.

    I refuse to have these animal-like (I’m not racist now …) Palestinian Arabs in Hamburg or other part of Germany that regret that they have not killed even more people.

    The terrorist militia has not known about Ahmad A. knife attack, only Palestinian Arabs know about it.
    In his refugee shelter a small, homemade flag of the “Islamic State” was found…..

    Macron is the Obama of France. He was the elites’ tranquilizer pill for a populist uprising in the making. The effect of the dose has worn off already, so they are moving to consolidate power through the EU. Stay tuned; the EU will make big moves in 2018 to become one state.

      Not without a referendum?

        Without a referendum. There are too many people who are wise to the game; too many dissenters to hold any legitimate plebiscite. The EU big shots know that if they don’t move now for centralization, another opportunity may not present itself. Since the prime goal of the EU has always been Europe under a single political rule, they are happy to make harsh moves now and risk losing the more benign aspects of the EU such as trade liberalization, because those benign aspects were always distractions from the start.

          I have hopes it can’t end like this evil Kalergi Plan, the father of Euro.
