Macron does too little too late

Yesterday night President Macron of France gave a speech on national television in a desperate attempt to shut down the violent protests against his regime. He promised to add 100,00 EUR to the minimum wages exempt from taxes every month, some social security taxes will be cut from the pensions of the people with less than 2000,00 EUR pension per month and he asks the employers to give a holiday bonus to the employees free from taxation.
The reaction of the "Yellow Vests" varied from slightly positive to "absolutely unacceptable". The general consensus by the majority is that they will keep on striving and protesting for a fairer taxation. They will not stop until they get what they want.

It seems like it is too little too late from President Macron. And France is on the brink of a 3rd revolution.

Students now join forces

Today a big crowd of students is joining forces with the "Yellow Vests". They are protesting against a new education fee that was added to the already overly taxed "average Louis" in France.
They baptized today as Black Tuesday. It is feared by government officials that this protest will feed the protests of the yellow brigade and make it even worse.

Interesting , everytime something like this happens in our country neither the government is beneficial nor the people because they will end up negotiating to much lesser that expected and the only people who get what they want is MEDIA.
