Liberals are rally ashamed fascists…
Isn’t that similar to how Hitler got his last job? Genuine question, I don’t know enough and I don’t understand the jargon enough when researching
Hitler was appointed chancellor by president Hindenburg, I don’t know if it’s the same but it does feel similar.
The Nazis held 230 of the 608 seats in the Bundestag in 1932, making them by far the most powerful party. For reference the second and third most powerful parties were the SPD with 133 seats, and the KPD with 89 seats, which even when combined falls far short of the Nazi total.
That at least makes Hindenburg’s attempt to placate the Nazis understandable, even it was suicidal and ultimately disastrous.
This is just the liberal party whining that the left gained any sort of power and in turn throwing a temper tantrum to make everyone else’s lives worse.
Thank you for the extra context, I don’t really know how Germany’s elections work, then and now so this is helpful.
I don’t think anything good will result from what Macron is pulling, he really did let the mask slip fully off and I wonder how the rest of the world will react.
Germany has different system closer to the united states. France is a more centralized state with stronger head of state. It’s probably closer to the Napelon III coup.
That’s not allowed, is it?
The president can appoint who he wants, but if the parliament doesn’t approve his choice, they will censor the government.
What that means is that he negotiated with the far-right to get them into his majority and not to vote the censorships, in exchange for who knows what. The liberals are scratched and the masks have completely fallen, there are dark times ahead.
I thought Le Pen refused to do anything with Macron. This is not good… this scenario feels familiar…
Yeah it’s probably really bad. He can’t keep his government with only the Ensemble + LR alliance, so he must have given her something big enough to make her change her mind, otherwise he wouldn’t have bothered appointing someone that would have just been censored right away by the opposition. Very scary that we have no idea what the deal was.
Marine Le Pen is a scum like her father Jean-Marie Le Pen
Something extremely frustrating and annoying, is that every time there’s an election in France the Western media repeats over and over that the far-right will have a fantastic result and may even win the elections. Then it never happens.
so true lmao
Dont know much about French politics all I heard was left party Prime Minister will not take over, not sure why you need prime ministers and presidents. Most countries I’m familiar with is either/or gorvern.
I thought this was fairly common, you have one as head of state and another as head of government. I can’t think of that many places where this isn’t actually the case.
Most of the countries in the Americas operate under presidential systems that do this. AES countries also tend to do it de facto
U.S President U.K Prime minister Spain President
UK and Spain both have monarchs who are the heads of state.
Canada
Really any Westminster parliament
That’s because the monarch is the figurehead of head of state power, while the de facto head of state is the prime minister. So according to outdated laws they are technically seperate
Imagine my shock
