In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “La France de Macron” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 4104 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3493 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “La France de Macron” meme mean?
The phrase is used whenever a price seems abnormally high, for an everyday product or an unexpected bill, pointing at the current political period rather than any specific cause. It is also used to humorously express a shared weariness toward inflation and the cost of living, turning a personal frustration into a collective inside joke. People bring it up in front of a steep bill, a rising price tag, or an extra charge, to sum up a widely shared feeling in one sentence.
Where does the “La France de Macron” meme come from?
Emmanuel Macron became President of the French Republic in 2017, then was re-elected in 2022. His presidency has been marked by several episodes of social tension linked to purchasing power, notably the Yellow Vests movement that started in late 2018 in reaction to a rise in fuel taxes, as well as a broader period of inflation affecting energy and food in the following years. Facing these price increases, several purchasing-power support measures were introduced during his presidencies, without preventing a lasting association, in everyday language, between his name and the feeling that “everything is going up.” The phrase “Macron's France” thus became a widespread ironic shorthand online to comment on any price increase.
