Emmanuel Macron’s liberal policies will ‘fuel populism and lead to rioting in the streets’

A source close to France’s former head of state Sarkozy told the French daily Le Parisien: “Mr Sarkozy thinks that Mr Macron is losing his grip on the country, that he has no control.

“Society is made up of winners and losers. 

“But Mr Macron’s problem, Mr Sarkozy believes, is that he is only talking to the winners – the wealthy –, and ignoring the losers – those who have nothing. 

“He is disconnected from reality.” 

The hardline right-winger also allegedly said that Mr Macron, who is seen by many as a socially liberal, pro-Europe globalist, had to proceed with great caution when implementing his radical, pro-growth reform agenda designed to “deeply transform” France.

“Mr Macron’s policies are too liberal. 

“Too much economic and social liberalisation could spark a populist revolution and push scores of French people to take to the streets to express their dissent,” Mr Sarkozy reportedly said.

According to Le Parisien, France’s former leader was also quoted as saying that things would “not end well” for Mr Macron.

“Society has grown increasingly violent, and (Mr Sarkozy) believes that that there is a risk of a ‘political eruption’ and that things will not end well for Mr Macron,” the anonymous source added.

Despite his warnings, Mr Sarkozy has always supported Mr Macron. 

The former president, who was knocked out of the presidential race during last November’s right-wing primaries, said after Mr Macron’s landslide win that the 39-year-old president was “like him, but better”.
