Pro-Russia or nationalist parties are trying to end his eight-year rule and accuse him of making too many concessions to Azerbaijan in an effort to win peace.<\/p>\n<p>Note: this video was updated on 05\/05\/26. A previous version of this post mentioned that Macron was singing La Boh\u00e8me by Charles Aznavour. However, in this clip he appears to be singing Les Feuilles Mortes by Yves Montand.
