France has been in a severe economic crisis since Emmanuel Macron took power. In addition, heavy tax burden and unemployment cause fury among Frenchmen. Macron is blamed for not launching reforms he promised.
On the other hand, the French president has been accused of being indifferent to domestic problems and unnecessarily getting intervened in local affairs of other countries. Macron has visited several countries in Africa and the Middle East and turned it into a showcase.
