Latest research from Frances economic council reveals growing skepticism about democratic values‚ especially among young citizens. Economic struggles and political disconnect fuel nationwide dissatisfaction

In early fall Emmanuel Macron considered Thierry Beaudet (who runs the CESE advisory group) for prime-minister position; however he later picked Michel Barnier. The CESE which started right after WW2 makes reports about French society - its latest findings are quite troubling

The research shows a deep-rooted mistrust in democracy: about one-third of under-35s dont think its the best system‚ while the general population sits at 23%. The gap between politicians and regular folks remains huge - 76% think leaders are out-of-touch with real life (this comes after those yellow-vest protests from 6 yrs ago didnt change much)

French people face tough money problems nowadays:
* Almost half struggle with basic expenses
* Many worry about sudden costs pushing them into debt
* Countryʼs GDP deficit stays above 6% for 3 yrs straight
* New taxes keep appearing to fill budget holes

Young french citizens join every protest they can find; however they rarely show up at voting stations. They talk about freedom being at risk but dont really know what it means - paris universities have lots of extreme protesters who shut down different opinions

Macrons position looks shaky: his team might quit anytime‚ old friends turned enemies and his 73-yr old prime minister wont take any games from him. French democracy needs strong leadership - something Macron hasnt shown lately
