If you speak french: analysons-macron.fr is a copmlete analysis of his entire program (by a left-wing movement, but it's pretty objective on the economic/political side). I'll translate you their summary:
>It seems that Emmanuel Macron's program is characterized by the continuity of the policies pursued over the past 30 years, in particular the previous five-year period. The economic program pursues the choice of supply policy, in accordance with the binding logic of the European Treaties and the recommendations of the European Commission. On the one hand, the choice is made to keep costs and contain wages, since the increase suggested by the program is only a transfer from the socialized share to the individual share, offset by taxes. >On the other hand, investments will not compensate for the planned austerity measures, so the overall impact on the economy will be a contraction. In addition, tax relief measures for large companies and shareholders will contribute more to paying rent and dividends and thus feeding the financial bubble at the expense of the real economy and business.
>On Europe, since its program is entirely in line with France's current orientation, it is not surprising that E. Macron made no objection to the European treaties, and to the democratic deficit which largely stemmed from those. His proposal for a parliament of the euro zone will not change anything. Yet it is this immobility that drives the European Union to the edge of the abyss, plunging it into economic gloom. >The international aspect is worrying. It supports the will of an Army of Europe (against which threat?), and we wonder if it is no longer a Europe of war that is preparing, because it will facilitate the implication of its members in conflicts. In addition, it appears to follow NATO's rearmament recommendations, which will fund the US arms industry. In the end, Emmanuel Macron's commitments on the international level jeopardize the independence of France.

Whats the Hirak? Quick rundown are you guys going to be another Ukraine
>Do you have a gun to protect yourself and your family? I might legally have one but I dunno where it is, grandfather liked to hunt and he probably left some as inheritance
I live pretty far away from the regions affected by the protests, anyway, and everyone here doesn't care since we're pretty well off in terms of jobs/etc
Mostly financed by diaspora faggots and drug barons
We even added 1 billion dollars to the renovation project in their shitty little city stuck in the middle of the mountains with barely 55k citizens and a few hundred thousand in total in the region and yet the protests keep increasing despite basically every construction site and project hiring because these fucks don't want to work ;_;

The rif region was historically quite impoverished. Not the worst region, but it was neglected under Hassan II. It also had a history of heavy repression when they had protests, with hundreds if not thousands of deaths in the 60's and 70's. It got peaceful after that, though.
When Mohammed VI took over the kingdom in '98, he started working on modernizing a lot of regions. He began with Tanger, launching the Tanger Med project (which is HUGELY successful and made the region prosperous), then started in 2015 a new project for the overhaul of the region of Al-Hoceima (where the majority of the protests are taking place).
In October 2016, a fish-seller in Al-Hoceima got crushed by a garbage truck after he tried to save his cargo (which was confiscated by the authorities). This triggered a whole lot of protests in the region, and there was indeed some corruption involved. At that time, a jobless guy named Nasser Zefzafi become somewhat well-known, leading the protests with his speeches against pretty much everything related to the gov even if it doesn't quite make sense. For 7 months, protests were somewhat escalating, until recently when they became huge.
Zafzafi was of course still at the heart of this all. People started swinging Rif Republic flags around (a short-lived republic from 1921 to 1926 that managed to secede from the Spanish protectorate for a bit), which as obvious separatist connotations.
Protests were turning somewhat violent. The ministry of islamic affairs (which decides all the speeches of all the imams in Moroccan mosques) sent a script to all 40 imams of Al-Hoceima. On that day, they said that protests and social claims were fine, as long as it was done in a peaceful manner without spreading lies (like the fact the rif was still apparently a military zone since 1958 when that was implicitly revoked the following year when the regions were re-organized) since it might cause discord. (cont.)
Tyler Torres
Some of Zafzafi's supporters went to tell him that imams were preaching that the social movement caused discord in the country. He went into the mosque and punched the imam in the middle of the Friday prayer before taking the mic and starting to preach for the hirak (name of the movement) while insulting the gov for bringing religion into political matters (while imams asking for stability in times of trouble was always a thing in Morocco). He also started to insult Mawazine (the biggest music festival in Morocco, a touristic success) as some of his followers were screaming ALLAHU AKBAR. This should give you an idea of the guy. (not to mention he claims to be from Abdelkrim al-Khatabi's spiritual lineage, a national hero that fought for Morocco's independence and led the aforementioned Rif Republic driving the spaniards out for a while, although he was a complete panarabist and exiled in Egypt where he lived the rest of his life afterward)
The police started a search mandate against him and they soon arrested him. Meanwhile, protests were continuing to grow and the movement is becoming more organized. They're treating everyone not with them as if they're completely against them and brainwashed by the royal establishment, calling skeptics slaves and shit like that (nevermind they're the only region doing this shit). They fly the berber flag around and claim that arabs are "oppressing them" when they're only a minority of the country's berbers, since the ones living in the Atlas and in the central/south mediterranean coast have no particular problems with the regime as it is.
Zafzafi's 4-day temporary custody period is over, and he's now being transferred to Oukacha prison in Casablanca. His trial is awaiting for disturbing the country's national balance, and there has been no ill treatment of him at all (while the dissidents are claiming justice is completely corrupted and were lying about him being mistreated). Who knows what'll happen in the future...
Owen Robinson
no Assad frens here? halp me
Liam Robinson
What are they chimping out about morocco bro?
Landon Peterson
Oh, and the movement is being supported and financed by a fuckload of diaspora (especially from Belgium, Netherlands, and Canada) that have no idea what life is like here and only come once every two years in order to spend their holidays in Morocco. There's been a lot of videos of Moroccan expats burning their passports or the national flag live on social media. Parliament is actually passing a law so that these guys are never able to enter Moroccan territory again, something I'm totally approving.
An ex-Moroccan drug baron who's received the death penalty here but escaped to Netherlands also supports the movement and is suspected of financing it. He created an organization there for the liberation (!) of the rif and independence for the region.

And it seems now that the hardcore islamists of Al Adl Wal Ihsane are joining the protests too. I have never seen such a massive protest like the one in Rabat I just linked before. All of this stuff is highly worrying. I hope it'll blow out, but I'm not so sure now.

Interesting, informative and concise So this seems to be local matters supported by "plastic Morokkans" like Irish-Americans financed IRA? If they start making camps like Maidan I'd recommend you go and start shooting them Yes I know sounds like usual Sup Forums bravado but just look at Ukraine Hopefully it does blow over though
Joshua Ross
>So this seems to be local matters supported by "plastic Morokkans" like Irish-Americans financed IRA? Yep
>If they start making camps like Maidan I'd recommend you go and start shooting them Nahhh, that's the perfect way for it to become super violent and that's the least I want
