THE FRENCH ‘CITIZENS INITIATIVE REFERENDUM’ (RIC)

Today, December 18, 2018, Le Figaro newspaper announced that French President Emmanuel Macron has put a priority on the debate that the Yellow Vests have been demanding the government to accept; that is, the question of  a Citizen Initiative Referendum (RIC). The Yellow Vest movement is demanding that this citizen’s right be enshrined into the French Constitution. The demand is considered a means of containing and of putting an end to popular insurrections in France; however, it intends to accomplish more than that. The irony is that Macron has to accept it, because he cannot be perceived as anti-democratic. He has no choice; the RIC is part of the DNA of human freedom.
