As the country is gripped by a second wave of Covid, the globalist leader has clamped down hard on daily life in hotspots, much to the dismay of many locals. Health Minister Olivier Veran was last week greeted by mass protests as he arrived in Marseille ahead of the rollout of a new set of strict rules aimed at curbing the city’s infection rate.
Restaurant owners took to the streets to rail against the government’s decision to force their businesses to shutter just months after they reopened following the nationwide lockdown.
A survey carried out in the days after the government announced a raft of new measures showed the French are far from happy with how their leader is responding to the public health crisis.
The ballot conducted by Elabe for BFMTV showed 65 percent of respondents don’t trust Mr Macron to fight the pandemic effectively.
This marks a significant drop in confidence the young president enjoyed at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in the spring.
And in a further blow to his authority, seven in 10 (69 percent) said Mr Macron, the government and the country’s health authorities had failed to adequately prepare for a second wave.
Forty-five percent of people who took party believe the Macron administration is not taking enough precautions while 30 percent said they felt the current restrictions would suffice.
The majority of people (69 percent) said they remained worried about the epidemic.
The survey was carried out on September 24 and 25, after Mr Veran unveiled the latest round of restrictions on Wednesday 23.
