It became known why the rating of Makron so rapidly fell

It turns out that such result is a consequence of the actions of the wife of the President.

The scandal surrounding the wife of the President of France Emmanuel Makron, influenced the rating of the President. At the moment the trust rating shows a catastrophic decline.

Just three months after the triumphant victory of the 39-year-old Emmanuel Macron on the presidential elections in France, its popularity started to decline record. This is evidenced by published on Thursday, a poll conducted by YouGo service.

The study showed, as of the end of July, just 36% of French people positively evaluate the actions of the Makron at the head of the state. Rating fall for the month amounted to 7 percentage points. This clearly negatively the work of the President is seen by 49% — that’s 13 points more than the previous month.

And decreased the number of supporters, including Philip. His rating for the month decreased by 2 points, staying at around 37%. In comparison with June has increased the number of respondents choosing the negative evaluation in response to the question of the Prime Minister and the government. If a month ago the figure was 31% by the end of July the share of negatively assess the activities of the Cabinet of Ministers has increased to 42%.

The ex-President Hollande, who is the most unpopular leader in French history, in the first months of operation, the rating was around 56%, and that of his predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy — 66%.

Sociologists point out that the drop in popularity of President resulted in reducing the defence budget, the resignation of the head of the General staff of the armed forces, the instability in the national Assembly.

But most of all indignation was aroused by the attempt of the President to assign his wife, 64-year-old former teacher Brigitte Tronie, the official status of first lady, with a salary, office and staff. More than 150 thousand Frenchmen signed a petition against the appointment, reports The Guardian.

According to the Constitution, the wife of the French President has no official status, but she put the office in the Elysee Palace, the helper and guard. The wife accompanies the leader of France at official functions and doing charity work.

Part of the French believes it is hypocritical, because on the initiative of the Makron, the Parliament voted to ban MPs employing relatives. In case of violation of the ban on the employment of relatives is punishable with imprisonment for a term of three years and a fine in the amount of € 45 thousand.

It should be noted that before the presidential elections in France, a scandal broke out around the candidate of the conservative françois Fillon. According to some media reports, his family members were allegedly employed at public expense, and in fact did not work.

French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche on July 23 published the results of a public opinion poll regarding the popularity of President Emmanuel Macron. So, for the month the rating of Makron fell by 10 % – a month ago the President’s rating was 64 %, now 54 %.

The chief of the General staff of the Armed forces of France General Pierre de Villiers has resigned because of razmernosti views with the President of Emmanuel Macron on spending cuts on defense.
