Comment on I've wondered since I was a youngin
Hlodwig@lemmy.world 5 hours agoAlmost once a year in France, global strikes that forces the government to roll back any time it tries to do something slightly too conservative.
Its called balance between power of the state and power of the peoples. In the US, peoples are just dumb sheeps.

Lmfao. Macron literally used constitutional powers to skip the congress and raise retirement age like two years ago, and protests achieved nothing. French people also elected a center-left government opposed to neoliberal austerity and the president is not allowing for a prime minister of LFI to be chosen, literally blocking the left while the far right threatens to take rule.

Bruh… It has been suspended…
And LFI is the third party in the congress, it would make no sense to choose the prime minister from them.
Protests almost always achieved smthg, paid leaves, CPE, retirement age, fuel taxes, etc… are a few exmaples. Dont speak of smthg you dont know…

If by “suspended” you mean pushed back until next elections, then yes, it has been “suspended”
