    I agree with you that he should resign because he made a mess and does not follow the will of a majority of the French.

    But as far as calling France a failed democracy that I do not agree with. A flawed democracy sure, but than again even a good democracy does not protect the people from making choices on flawed information or ignorance.

      We are currently in the 5th republic, Wich was created by Charles de Gaulle during the decolonization of Algeria.These times required a concentration of powers to ensure stability, such as constitutional tools allowing to bypass votes in parliament. We are not AT ALL in the same situation as then.

        So apperently I am wrong. What would make a future France less of a police state and more democratic than now?

      You’re wrong. It is indeed a fake democracy and many organization, are pointing this.

      He lost elections for his government and put 3 Prime Minister from the losing party in a row.

      And there are many other things Emmanuel Macron did to attack democracy. Amnesty International pointed the abuse of force use with his violent police, for example.
