By Charles.S\u00a0. Perera<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

It is not that I agree wit his politics, but I vote gainst the extra nationalist Marine Le Pen from being elected.<\/p>\n

Some call Macron the ambitious man on the move\u201d , an anti-System Candidate\u201d, the maverick centrist outsider\u201d and yet others\u00a0 call him a political Prince.. If elected at 39 he would be the first youngest elected President in the history of France. He \u00a0calls himself a liberal \u2013 one who stands for change or reform not abandoning \u00a0entirely his Socialist hue. He prides calling himself a\u00a0 child of Provincial France. He is supported mainly by the young and\u00a0 the not so young. He is no receipt holder of membership to any political party. He leads his own political \u00a0movement- En March.<\/p>\n

Macron former investment banker with Rothschild & Co., \u00a0is a stranger to French political system having served only \u00a0a short period of counselling economics to President Fran\u00e7ois Holland,and then\u00a0 as his Minister of Economics for two years.<\/p>\n

He is unconventional in all sense and \u00a0proved his willingness\u00a0 to keep his promise against all odds by marrying his former High School professor 24 years his senior. He even joked about his gay tendencies, evoking the surprise of his wife Brigitte as to how he manages it despite her being with him 24 hours of the day.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of his odd man Presidential election\u00a0 campaign the elder political elite did not pay any attention to him, but Macron relentlessly worked on to wriggle himself into the political lime light to give short shivers to serious Presidential candidates to be. His centrist voice finally won and he had qualified for the second run with more chances than Marine Le Pen to finally win the Presidential election.<\/p>\n

He is not anti Muslim and does no believe in keeping\u00a0 closed the European boaders from immigrants. He says anyone should have the right to practice his religion with dignity. He has no sympathy to low wage earners and wishes to reduce some of their welfare benefits. He is business friendly promoting the upper class than the underdog.<\/p>\n

I disagree on his foreign policy\u00a0 which does not differ from\u00a0 both right and left governments of the past. He is to increase defence spending , which is permissible as far as the protection of France is concerned, but not the use of the military for intervention in foreign lands. There is no need to attack Syria, and the government of its elected President Bashar Al-Assad.<\/p>\n

No government in the West has the correct politics to suit the present time. Today there is a mounting\u00a0 surge of violence in the world\u00a0 expanding to become ruthless terrorism. Hence the World Governments have to invent strategic politics not to curb terror by terror, but by finding other means to stop the surge and dissuade violence taking the form of\u00a0 terrorism.<\/p>\n

None of the Western Governments are people friendly. They are more for the upper and business class. It was Francois Mitterand who was the more \u00a0popular people friendly French President. More would\u00a0 have been pleased\u00a0 to vote for Jean Luc M\u00e8lnanchon who would have been another people friendly President after Fran\u00e7ois Mitterand.<\/p>\n

In Syria there was\u00a0 anti government activities by certain groups which was\u00a0 immediately taken over by the Western countries to promote a regime change in Syria as they did in Libya, and Sri Lanka as well in 2015. The Russian Government fortunately intervened to protect the elected Bashar Al-Assad whose government \u00a0was really attacked by armed Syrian terrorists, which interpretation was refused by the USA and the West for whom the other people\u2019s terrorists are not their terrorists.<\/p>\n

That Russian intervention in Syria stopped the escalation of war in that country and the other countries around. It was USA, under George Bush and Barrack Obama, with his war monger\u201d Hillary Clinton, \u00a0which was\u00a0 out to intervene militarily in foreign countries, to maintain the \u00a0leadership of USA in the world. France and the rest of the European countries and Canada joined in with their NATO forces for this world class military assassination of Nations.<\/p>\n

The time is now ripe for all Nations of the world to start settling issues in dialogue, as UNO has failed \u00a0to accomplish this role. \u00a0USA \u00a0has also invented Human Rights as a means to interfere in to internal affairs of Sovereign States they consider are \u00a0lead by political leaders unfriendly towards the USA and the West.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0\u00a0 USA intervention in Ukrain was a mistake that lit the fires of dissention amoung the European countries. It is essential that European countries join hands with Russia as a partner. instead of \u00a0carrying on a cold with trade blockades. The Governments may disagree but that is no reason why people are made to suffer by imposing trade blockades. Political dissention between countries should be settled by healthy dialogue.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Macron if elected should re think about his political stand\u00a0 vis-\u00e0-vis Russia, and Bashar Al-Assad.\u00a0 All elected political leaders of all Sovereign states both those of the developed countries and the developing countries should respect\u00a0 each other, that is the clef to a peaceful world \u00a0where people may share each others happiness and prosperity.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Macron should when elected make an effort to revitalise \u00a0the UN \u00a0as an instrument for world peace, without allowing it to follow the rich USA and the West, to isolate the poor developing nations.<\/p>\n

It is with those thoughts in mind that I will vote for Emmanuel Macron \u00a0at the final round of \u00a0Presidential Election in France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
