is said about these elections. this is, of course, the tactics of the government, of course. uh. well, even we didn't even get it. for example, i did not receive more lists of all candidates. many posters of even all candidates are not even pasted up. france split the action of the president approve of no more than 40% of the population. the fifth republic is the main intrigue. will the macron party be able to maintain a majority in parliament, the presidential election showed the right-wing blind and the left-wing with melanchon are an impressive force, especially the melenchon is now in an economic crisis, and the left is in favor of raising wages, lowering the retirement age and limiting the rise in prices for gasoline and basic foodstuffs . he can to pick up the bulk of the votes of the younger generation , macron's support has dropped significantly by about 25% of the population in large cities and along, well, in the well-to-do part

of the population, let's say, and the most elderly part. but there is still quite a lot of it, and they are just behind the macron, everyone else is very against pasta , very against the state, and, uh, somehow the macron rather strangely irritates a lot of french people. these are the prices, but this is also different, this is a lie, a strong move in the election campaign of melenchon, the appearance in the media field of rachelka 48-year-old black maid who was born in the cat-devoir. she works in one of the hotels in the botignolles district of paris and is ready to fight for the interests of the poor french. here is rachel at one of the meetings of the new people's ecological and social union led by a mélenchon in traditional african dress. question we are the ones who

make france repeat. we are the ones who make france if we don't work there will be no france without us, there is no france and the time has come for our laws to be passed in the national assembly. and it's not just words. kiki already has a successful experience. she was one of the initiators of the strike in the hotels fought with employers for 22 months and achieved an increase in wages for workers almost twice the deputies of the french parliament are elected for 5 years in single-member districts. in the first round, the one who receives the absolute majority of votes becomes the winner. true, provided that he scored at least 25% of the votes of registered voters , if this did not happen, then they conduct a second round in total in the french parliament 557 seats graze polls ipsu macron 28%, while the union has melan. a party

or pen can count on 40 seats, but she assures the fight is not over yet calls for those french who planned to abstain to vote . we have to change this, gorono calls the upcoming parliamentary elections decisive for the macron , journalists write victory in the struggle for the presidency is only halfway if the incumbent president does not have an absolute majority in parliament. he will not be able to implement his program, and melangeon has already openly stated that he intends to take the post of prime minister, and this is a completely realistic scenario if macron supporters fail the vote natalya goncharova olga lvukhina. news. china sharply criticized the us government in they consider washington's attempts to interfere in

the internal affairs of the country unacceptable speaking at a security conference in singapore, the minister of defense of the prc demanded that the states stop denigrating and restraining china, he also mentioned the situation around taiwan, warning that any attempt to separate the region from china with such would be stopped even at the cost of war, as for the conflict in ukraine, here the representative of the celestial empire called on the parties to sit down at the negotiating table as soon as possible, saying that anti-russian restrictions did not help conflicts or war - this is the last thing china would like to see in ukraine at the same time. we do not believe that maximum pressure and sanctions can solve the problem. they can even increase the friction and make things even more difficult. what he does is the fuel crisis hits the economy of western countries more and more in the usa, the rise in the price of gasoline leads to an increase in the cost of products and, as a result , a drop in confidence in the president, biden will tell in more detail than the cold in the usa after

record growth. prices followed and a shortage of goods on the shelves, let those who want to stock up on food, recalculate spending on food in advance with biden's promise to curb inflation, few believe? i think that prices will continue to rise, because nothing is done in congress, everything becomes more expensive if i used to spend 8 dollars on lunch, but now it's at least ten. i am a poor college student. for me it's expensive. but all this, according to the president, is the price that must be paid for helping ukraine to their colleagues, the democrats. biden, has already made it clear that all western countries will have to pay for washington's policy and the rise in prices for gasoline and food - this is a new reality for some time, but which one he did not specify to the drop in income, in order to support the kiev regime, obviously not all discontent is ready is growing not only among ordinary americans, everything more journalists. political scientists, economists , military experts, historians, are beginning to wonder whether the white house really wants peace in ukraine, or whether the original goal was to foment conflicts. the united states just openly began to

transfer heavy weapons to ukraine plus joint military exercises, advanced military training stoltenberg spoke about this, biden exacerbated the situation when, in september last year, she announced an expanded program in preparation for joining nato, and ukraine for russia is the red line is even more dissatisfied with the europeans of britain because of the rise in price of gasoline. many have already had to give up traveling by private transport. the guardian writes that many employees whose companies are far from home. now they're just quitting because of high travel costs and low wages record high gas prices mean that medical staff , home care professionals, taxi drivers and other people who have to drive to work are now forced to overpay to work it's simple. they profitably took up arms against the government and the farmer, they were promised an increase in subsidies, but because of the crisis, the farmers in shock curtailed the program, because they were promised that after brexit they would continue to receive payments, but in fact they were reduced by 20%
