Macron was bound at some stage to face a tirade of fury with the ensuing reforms that he set forward. The French Left made up of the remaining democratic socialist element of the party who are far from the parties centre wish to hang on to the existing social system while Mo Dem wish to reform to a more market based system and almost Anglo-Saxon in its outlook in comparison to the existing social system at present that is heavily subsidized by the state and to reform Frances tax system to one that incentivises business and one that can produce sustainable and lasting growth after years of tepid growth and stagnation and high unemployment that has caused social ruptures that the French far Left led by Melenchon has and will exploit when state cutbacks are made to the payroll. The gamble is that France will experience the mini boom that the UK enjoyed from 2014-2015 that will offset the social cost of radical reform that will affect the French public sector after the reforms are made to the French social state.
The Economic reforms of the French Finance Minister Bruno Le maire echo the policies of Osbornism to a large degree and embrace economic liberalism. The reforms if done the wrong way could cause social instability in France for a period of years before they become part of the French economic orthodoxy time will tell on this matter, less of a shock and awe Reaganite approach is needed but one that can achieve gradual and meaningful change that achieves growth but one that does not throw too many in French society of balance and enable the French unions most hardline such as the CGT to whip up militancy and bring down the reforms to a halt or even end Macron’s presidency through a period of unrest and strike action could pose major difficulties to his En Marche liberal reform movement and a blow to his reform proposals that could have a knock on effect to his reform programme and this could have far reaching consequences for Frances economic stability in the long term
How Macron will hold this move movement together which encompasses social liberals, economic liberal and the social democratic element would possibly feel tensions among themselves over the contradictions among their grassroots movement that could cause organisational ruptures within what is a Coalition of different parties for the liberal and soft left and moderate right who have split from the main centre right and centre left parties of the French political spectrum. How this circle is squared for macron will be a defining moment for his En Marche party
How the left fight back again the reforms will be a defining moment for the French lefts cultural identity within France and the identity they will define themselves with as a way of their purpose as one of not being luddites but as one of heroic resistance against a social coup-detat that they see as fundamentaly un-French. The Influence of the Unions, nonetheless remains strong and will be a pivotal challenge for Macron to rail against the challenge of unions such as the CGT union in the hope that he will be able to return France to growth from its financial privations of the past so that it can breathe the air of economic growth and grease the wheels of progress to steer France in an almost Cameroon Direction in what Macron bears an striking ideological resemblance to with both as reforming centre-right liberals.
