Harnser Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Yes - he's at it again, following his flag faux pas, his ongoing campaign to not get re-elected in March is on track. https://actu.orange.fr/france/pass-vaccinal-les-non-vaccines-j-ai-tres-envie-de-les-emmerder-declare-emmanuel-macron-magic-CNT000001IeYSc.html Whatever your personal opinion of the unvaccinated is, his remark during a live interview brings the office of president into disrepute again IMHO. Some of the 700 + comments are interesting and not a little amusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssomon Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I'm quite peed off with the unvaccinated myself, and I couldn't care less if they get peed off, or who wants to make them peed off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm peed off that you are not peed off that Macron wants to pee the unvaccinated off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherbanana Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 True, GS, he is an arrogant little runt who badly needs taking down a peg or two. Perhaps the electorate will do it but I doubt it. Unless he was trying to appear more a common man of the people by using more direct forms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never understood why Mrs Macron should be insulted as she is. I find her an attractive woman. No doubt she is intelligent and as far as I'm aware hasn't done anything offensive. No doubt, first thing in the morning she may not look as attractive as she does in public but then again who does? Macron may be all that is said about him but why his wife?

I don't know of any other President who used that word but I do remember Sarkozy causing a storm by using 'racaille' The British press just, as with 'emmerder', plumped for the worst translation possible of course! Each word has several interpretations and Presidents should be aware that whatever they say it will be shown in the worst possible light by their enemies!

Do you know Macron's parents found his marriage to be offensive? She is an attractive woman and many will simply be jealous, an unenviable trait in people.

alittlebitfrench Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Anyway....back on topic. This subject has appeared on a few Brit/French forums....Eurotrash ! What is interesting that anyone apart from being native French really can't understand what all the fuss is about. Even people who are fluent in French and have French nationality they still don't get the meaning. Believe me, what this idiot said was deaply offensive. It was rude and not something that should be said by the president of France. It really can't be translated into English. I think that is the problem. What example is this idiot Macron setting to French kids with his behaviour ? What a shocking horrible little man.

ko12x2 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It's not just the "emmerder". A President ought not to fan the flames of a cleavage in society. He (or an Elysée spokesperson) later clarified that he was responding to... "J’avais en face à moi deux soignantes qui me disaient ‘nous, on pense qu’il ne faut plus soigner les gens quand ils ne sont pas vaccinés quand ils arrivent aux urgences" There have been opinion pieces (& some opinion polls) suggesting that 30% of the population (UK, France, and others) would like to rid their hospitals of the unvaccinated by denying them entry and/or kicking them out (or worse). Macron, in Le Parisien, said ... "Ça, c’est l’immense faute morale des antivax : ils viennent saper ce qu’est la solidité d’une nation. Quand ma liberté vient menacer celle des autres, je deviens un irresponsable. Un irresponsable n’est plus un citoyen". My emphasis. He sounds more like Priti Patel there. Fanning the flames is a very bad idea for society. 30% of a population is a critically dangerous mass and one should read the works of (at least) Gustave Le Bon, Hannah Arendt, Stanley Milgram, and today, Prof. Mattias Desmet of Ghent University to see where this sort of thing leads.

Macron likes picking on people. It is his thing. He does it with the French poulation and the populations of other countries. It has NOTHING to do with being vacinated or not. He does it because he can. He is a bully. A small one at that. It is that simple. Edited January 8, 2022 by alittlebitfrench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
