Two years on, the leader once nicknamed “jupiter,” has faced violent street protests by the “gilets jaunes” and has become a target for nationalist politicians at home in France and across the continent.
BBC Newsnight's Mark Urban examines Macron’s rise, troubles and future plans for France and the EU after Brexit.

I always imagine how the media would portray the yellow vest protests if they were happening in Hungary.
But they wouldn't report it hahaha
i honestly like macron
He’s a tool in reality
"Politicised people are not real people" is woke 9:40
He's basically saying killing them is fine, because they're not real people anymore.
You know. I grew up being taught that expressing your political opinion is a good thing. Apperantly not if you're a "populist"
@Fine Sin You have a nice day too.
@Fine Sin Still, it can be said the border between a social uprising and rallying political hooligans isn't that wide anymore these days. Just see what's happening in Africa this spring: The Algerians and the Sudanese got rid of their military dictators. Who are those people? Political hooligans or is it a social uprising? And what about Venezuela? Do they have a social uprising or do they have a massive yellow vest uprising against their socialist government? France loves to strike due to their history and their currently flawed democracy system, but the gilets jaunes can't be just ignored just because they're mainly consisting of political activists these days.
As a Dutchman I can say this: The yellow vests are only a success in countries with "efficient" political systems that ignore the needs of large minorities like France and Germany. However, these efficient systems need to have solved division from a two-party system like that one in the UK, because in two-party system the right and left are fighting each other instead of the elected elite versus the people. I admit the Anglo-Saxon system is extremely stable and gives the people the feeling of having choice, but is that what democracy really should look like? The solution is lowering the election threshold and to educate both the people and the politicians, because lower election thresholds always means coalitions, a bit more inefficiency at the parliament and giving the people the feeling change is absent, but that really is the way to go. The Netherlands didn't have any revolutions since the Belgians left in 1830. New movements come orderly into parliament when it is time to do so, especially since the 1980s when the _polder model_ broke through. Any revolutionary attempt to take over power just failed, because there never was a radical united front in the first place.
Could anybody make subtitles for the Video please 😢
If this guy is a populist, then he must be the best possible kind of populist politicians... hope others of his kind will follow to counter nationalist, anti-European, and truly dangerous populists...
Lmao. Europe is dead. Even you guys wanted to left it. So let us do the same please, we are dying of this German dominated Europe.
Le pen is pro European communities but not the way it’s become
'' Allo, allo, I shall say thiz only once ''
can you speak any language other than english?
@@adamhall5298 Can he even speak proper english to begin with ?
Finally I find time to watch this piece. Worthy of an award. I say that with no personal recompensatory or secret vested interest! Before one is accused!! Very well done, Mark.
love The Favourite-esque styling !
Blending is the British Politk ... what kind of report is that .
When I heard he’s interested in the few the elite audience I knew exactly what that meant. He even smooth talks his opponents and haters even if they don’t like him
Napoleon Macron, trying to rule Europe
He's just a jerk, it's not that deep
I am not against peaceful protest 😅 but I don’t understand the mess created by yellow vest 🙈 burning cars, breaking stores, smashing windows, vandalizing public facilities 💔
That was slow..
This crazy man think is a God of the world, and give many lessons. Never have some respect for his people. Today is Paris Syria
He’s both!
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. ~ Sartre. Stay strong, Macron 💙🤍❤️
Ooh BBC
How did you not think that raising the price of gas by 6 euro wasn't going to backfire? did you not expect people to get angry?
The problem with French politics is that politicians are arrogant and disconnected with the French people. That’s a big problem. They come out of big administration schools, they never were middle-class and a lot of them have never been in contact with normal “real” people, with the 95% of the country, the working people with daily problems, pay the bills, etc. They may have good ideas that’s possible, but they are disconnected from the reality, they’re moving in a theoretical, not practical world, in the select and comfy world of the National School of Administration.
where do you live, dude?! you have described "politicians" everywhere, not just in France!
I'm sure politicians are good in groenland...
Actually I think you should change the title from President macron to the Tory party! Ffs
Macron THAT Sounds Like Dodgy Cheese

the music is too good !
the problem with taking on the powerful things will get iffy . .
Emmanuel Macron remains the most popular politician in France, by far. A recent Harris poll found that Macron's approval rating was 38%, compared with Bayrou's 26% (another centrist politician), Hamon's 22%, Le Pen's 21%, and Melenchon's 18%.
Only a centrist can interprete a 38% approval rating as being good. Macron us one of the the most despised presidents in France's history. His approval rating was as low as 19% just less than a year ago
Jake Penfold It’s France. They disapprove of most politicians. As demonstrated by the fact that other centrists, and the socialists, and the communists, and the far-right, are behind.
geniusofmozart Listen to your self he’s a elected dictator who promises poverty for the French and tax breaks for the plutocrats,a dry guillotine.Wake up before you somnambulate to your paupers grave
Father Rob He’s not a dictator; he was democratically elected.
geniusofmozart what to create a federal France he is a modern day Napoleon.He may well have been elected but France is a kingdom not a federal domain
Looks like the Paris Agreement is not working for Paris 😂😂
His approvak rating is all time low😂😂😂😂
It's actually not that bad at all hollande left with a 2% approvalrating
He won by chance: a lot didn't want far left, a lot didn't want either of them so they went for blank vote...there was definitely not the majority of french who voted for him
The economies of the world need to be liberated from this Wall Street, globalized, capitalism and the politicians who support it and replaced with a balanced system where the people who produce enjoy the fruits of their labor
you have not the same vision of "gilet jaune" que nous avons en France, but good analyse :)
There's a storm coming.
Democracy is ending!....only likes of China and Russia are stable..
@@ameyas7726 Russia? Stable? You've lost all credibility mate.
Russia is inherently weak and becoming weaker. All they have going for them is nukes, conventional military, and oil. Their economy is shit and their demographics are fucked. Their economy is the size of Italy yet has three times more people.
Secondly you overplay "racial conflict" in the West. There hardly is any. You're just obsessed with media narratives of racial strife when there hardly is any. Our military spends more than the next 10 countries behind, I don't think it's handicapped bub.
Yes its a mistake because they can nuke us and the rest of the world to the dark ages there's no doubting that. But that's where their strength begins and ends; its all military. No economic, demographic, or cultural influence.
Revelation 13:1-2, 5: And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.
Yellow Vests
Yellow as a Daisey ...
Actually nothing can be done for France. People don’t want to change. They are not dynamic, not adapting to the changing realities. Macron has tough challenge.
Is austerity a changing reality or away for the banks to fleece the poor?
@@notnotness4765 try to live in a world without banks, see how that works out! forget the banks, we need them; what we dont need is unnecessary bogus wars and spending on nuclear weapons and other unnecessary endeavors; stop the wars and spend the money on progress!
@@jayrusty2012 why would we have to live without banks? Im merely pointing out that quantative easing, and austerity, has been the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich we have ever seen. And that after the bail out of the banks.
The reality is big capital is in control of western democracies. The yellow vests are an answer to that.
This all came about because of a green tax. If any of them actually cared about the enviroment they wouldnt be moving all production to china where there are no enviromental controls.

Au nom du Très-Haut
Jeunes de France, demandez au président de votre république: pourquoi soutient-il l'insulte du Messager de Dieu et la classe comme liberté d'expression? Est-ce ce que signifie la liberté d'expression: insulter et insulter, diriger cela vers des personnalités scintillantes et sacrées? Ce comportement insensé n'est-il pas une insulte aux sentiments des gens qui les ont choisis comme président?
La question suivante est: pourquoi remettre en question l'Holocauste est-il un crime? Pour que quiconque écrit quelque chose à ce sujet soit emprisonné? Tout en cédant à insulter le Grand Messager (PSL)?

Beautiful choice of music BBC. What a fucking drama you are creating for the sake of drama.
Not sure about the so called sophistication of the language but the implication is clear. nuanced as as ever by the past. Coco’s retinue. The nationalist dilemma? Hardly, as though image substance were at the fore. Once again, contempt rallies the troops.

Beautiful documentary
There will come a time in the near future where it's not about whether you're left-wing or right-wing, but whether you're a nationalist or a globalist. We often hear about how awful nationalism is. Was it awful when former colonies wanted independence and self-determination from European powers? No. Was it awful when European powers wanted freedom from Papal rule? No. Is it awful that both Palestinians and the Tibetans want a nation of their own? No. Is it awful when Europeans want to be free from globalist rule? No. Is it awful that some Scottish nationalists want independence? No.
There is nothing wrong with a group of people wishing to be a majority in their own homeland and to maintain their culture, traditions, customs self-determination and secure a future for the next generation. Many of the conflicts in history have been due to different groups of people wishing to establish a homeland of their own against empires with global ambitions.
This globalist multicultural agenda (in mostly white countries) is doomed to fail. We are often told diversity is our strength rather than unity? Multiculturalism has turned us into a low trust society where we're constantly walking on egg shells. Multiculturalism means that different groups of people are going to compete for dominance. It will also mean that the native majority will start to feel disenfranchised. Why should we accept FGM, child marriage, polygamy and other norms from cultures incompatible to our own? How does this make us stronger? We can live in a global world where people simply cooperate and trade without having open borders. In Japan, which is more or less an homogeneous society, crime is virtually non-existent and you often see people wearing masks when outdoors. They wear masks when they have a cold to avoid other people catching the virus. This is a perfect example of a high trust society. Japan is hugely successful and is looking at ways to combat their low birth rate without having to import people into their country. Not to mention the fact that Tokyo is one of the world most successful global cities.
Look at the recent comments made by the Dalai Lama when he said that "Europe belongs to the Europeans". That's upset a lot of lefties and unfortunately they can't call him a Nazi for making that comment. Especially when he's been a hero to so many such as the likes of champagne socialists such as Russell Brand.
As for liberalism, it is doomed to fail also. Liberalism brings decadence, decadence weakens societies, and weak societies get taken over by more cohesive and organised groups of people. The Persians, Greeks and Romans became decadent in the end.
Right... Sounds like a summary of a badly written white supremacist essay with no data or real facts to back up those claims.
U not like D left.
@@cyberlee what have I said that is white supremacist?
@eSprit That's what Hitler used to say. Why does that even matter?
@@cyberlee when did Hitler say that?
Antichrist rising!!!
We Europeans want Macron's United States of Europe....
We voted in 2005 and you guys lost. By a good margin.
I'm pro-EU, but fuck those pseudoaristocrats like Macron! The dedain towards the lower classes is just intolerable.
vote for the right wing , save europe
All hail the emperor. The Napoleon. Vive La Macron
Melanchon for the win
It says 53 comments and only 13 are visible. My that sure looks like censorship.
Populism you mean democracy
Macron should have been smarter politically. He knows french character. Or at least he should. Protest is in the DNA.
Yeap. We aren't like English or german peoples who never go out on the streets when their government is making shitty laws against the interest of the population.
He is the best thing that has happened to the nationalist in Europe. A literal embodiment of the European elitist.
You're right Macron I voted not knowing all the facts. Now I know about article 11 & 13 I am out out out "No Deal" it's better than censorship.
Homeless and urinals on your streets Goodbye Paris
Paris : And never come back, you dick !
@ 0:50 "The UK is leaving the EU" Pretty much sums up how ignorant and out of touch these people are. We all know the UK isn't leaving the EU (unless it's to the EU advantage ofcourse)... please try and keep up!
just another labour party xxxxxxx
I imagine the UK paramilitaries are forming and writing to Putin for arms 😂 I can't wait for the shit to hit the brick ........... Northern Ireland lasted 40 years over sovereignty, I wonder how long the troubles will last on the mainland UK over sovereignty? 😂😂😂😂😂
Clearly you don't know the uk
When you are rejoicing the return of a conflict in which innocents died then you really need to look in the mirror
@@isaactrio Pragmatically the only way is violence if you protest they will ignore you, debate they won't listen to you, you vote they will over turn it. If the right people were killed ie crooked banker's, politicians, police officers, freemasons, judges, local councillors, members of the media and big corporate bosses and middle class do-gooders I rekon thing's would change. Too many fuckers and not enough folk killing them😂😂😂😂
@@JamesWilliams-xk2zu I know the down trodden UK very well😊

*The real winner here is Putin and he's laughing right now 🥴*
I hope it’s because of Macrons arrogance that causes a hard Brexit. He honestly thinks it will hurt the U.K. but if it ends up being to their benefit will he accept his role and miscalculations?
Oh of course, you're gonna blame Macron. Not the Farages and Moggheads that lied to you to sell you something they couldn't even deliver.
Hey, Macron winter is coming, at least for you anyway. ... LOL
Why do we look for Messiah-figures? I symoathize with Macron a lot but the obession with "one saviour we follow blindly" always leads to dissapointment and problems.
Putin, Obama, Trump, Macron... It is not about polotical colour it is the leader type and one-eyed followers (blind to any possble flaw in their leader).
Macron quit already!!
Definitely catalyst. They need Melenchon to abort the crisis.
No... We need Henry De Lesquen.
Juno X European leader need to embrace the ideas of their people and so their nationalisms uprising , melenchon and the other far left politicians are the worst enemy of the people
God bless Matteo, Le Pen and all leaders who protect the citizens of Europe. And God bless Viktor Orban too
God doesn't exist and here's to hoping they have much shorter political careers, at least
Maria schick you are Russian troll
fuck brexit hahaha do you say that to everyone you disagree with?

Macron is a strong leader
antoine riveri. So why is Paris burning 🔥
@@williamriley924 , because when you have a strong leader making strong decisions you have of course an opposition. But he is destroying the yellow vests, they are vanishing into fine air
