Macron could be replaced by French Army General, according to former MEP

 

Amid tensions between the French government and the ‘yellow vests’, former MEP Daniel Cohn-Bendit has suggested that French President Emmanuel Macron could be replaced by a French Army General.

 

Speaking to Euronews, the former Green MEP suggested that the violent protests occurring across the country’s capital city will have a knock-on effect on the European elections, due to take place in May 2019, in favour of the far-right.

 

Mr Cohn-Bendit said: “History has shown us that such a crisis, a social crisis – it was the same in Germany in the 30s, that was a big crisis and there was big unemployment, and the communists thought it would go to the left, it would go towards socialism. It didn’t.”

 

“Never, ever, ever, such social crises go to the left. It always goes to the right.

 

“And look, what was the first political proposition from a lot of people who were speaking for the movement? They ask that General Pierre de Villiers becomes French President. They want a General at the top of the country. Is this a left [wing]proposition?”
