The EU ivory tower elite in Brussels are apparently annoyed at Macron, for listening to the yellow jacket protestor's demands.

 

This will probably not end well…

 

Here is an article in German:

And here is an excerpt of that German interview with EU Budget Commissioner Günther Oettinger, run through Google Translate:

Will France's President Emmanuel Macron, against whom his own people rise, remain the EU's hope?

 

Oettinger: President Macron has lost authority with his budget for 2019, which exceeds the deficit limit of three percent. But he remains a strong supporter of the European Union.

 

Macron's billionaire pledges to the "yellow vests" bring the French budget in additional distress. When does Brussels step in?

 

Oettinger: We checked the French budget a few weeks ago and will not be revisiting it now. Crucially, Macron is continuing its reform policy, especially on the labor market, and France is not leaving the growth path.

 

Under this condition, we will tolerate a national debt higher than three percent as a one-time exception. However, it must not continue beyond 2019.
