French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the “end of abundance” has arrived and that his people must make sacrifices to “defend democracy.”
“What we are living through is a time of great upheaval,” Macron said during a press conference Wednesday.
“Firstly, because we are witnessing – and not since just this summer, but for the past few years – the end of what we might have seen as abundance.”

“And for those who enjoyed it, it is also the end of a carefree time.”
“Our freedom, the liberty to which we have grown accustomed to in our lives has a price,” he continued, “and sometimes when we have to defend it, we have to make certain sacrifices as we fight to defend it.”
Macron was specifically warning of even higher energy costs this winter for Europeans who have already been suffering as a consequence of sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine conflict.
“In the coming weeks his government will have to decide whether to renew price caps on electricity and gas that expire at the end of the year, and maintain a fuel rebate, which together have helped keep French inflation lower than many European peers but weigh heavily on public finances,” Reuters reported Wednesday.
“France could not maintain energy price caps to help households cope with soaring inflation forever, government spokesman Olivier Veran said after the cabinet meeting. ‘There may be price increases,’ he said.”
The Euro has tumbled to a 20-year low over the last week amid reports that energy prices are set to skyrocket this winter amid a backdrop of soaring inflation and the protracted Ukraine conflict.
Macron’s remarks are similar to those Joe Biden made this spring when he banned Russian oil imports, telling the American people they must make sacrifices in their lives to save Ukraine.
“This is a step that we’re taking to inflict further pain on Putin,” Biden said in Marhc. “But there will be costs as well here in the United States. I said I would level with the American people from the beginning. And when I first spoke to this, I said defending freedom is going to cost — it’s going to cost us as well, in the United States.“
Drastically eroding the people’s standard of living is a key feature of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset aka “Build Back Better” agenda being adopted across the West.
The Ukraine conflict has simply given the globalists a convenient excuse to implement the Great Reset without much public outrage since the pro-war media propaganda has brainwashed them into accepting that Ukraine must be defended at any cost.
Perhaps Macron will lead by example and move out of the Élysée Palace, stop flying in his private jet, and cut down on cordon bleu to bear his share of the burden most Europeans will have to suffer through this winter.
