#EmmanuelMacron is not short of troubles at home. But at least #Europe offered some respite. The French president stepped back onto the European stage after weeks of violent anti-government protests forced him into a series of concessions, including ditching a planned fuel tax hike and raising the minimum wage.
But in Brussels, fellow European leaders - most importantly German Chancellor #AngelaMerkel - showed they still have faith in the president who swept to power with a strongly pro-EU message in May of last year. Asked whether she understood Macron’s concessions to Yellow Jackets protesters and whether she was concerned that #France would once again fail to meet its budget deficit commitments, Merkel offered Macron strong support.

#EmmanuelMacron's concessions come at an estimated cost of between €8bn and €10bn, according to the public accounts minister Olivier Dussopt.
In his much-anticipated address to the nation Monday (Dec 10), #EmmanuelMacron sought to respond to the 'economic and social emergency' facing #France with "strong measures", most notably a €100 a month increase in the #minimumwage from 2019, an exemption from a recent rise in #socialsecurity tax for pensioners on low incomes and the abolition of taxes on overtime pay starting next year.
For political analysts, these measures represent a significant shift in policy from a leader who has been dubbed the 'president of the rich' by his critics. There's also the question of money. Macron's concessions come at an estimated cost of between €8bn and €10bn, according to the public accounts minister Olivier Dussopt.
