Emmanuel Macron faces several disagreements

In the aftermath of the triggering of article 49.3 to pass the pension reform, it is not only the Prime Minister who is under fire from critics. “The first who is targeted in the demonstrations, and by the opponents, is more Emmanuel Macron”explains Guillaume Daret, live from the Elysée Palace, Friday, March 17. “It makes sense, this pension reform was the most emblematic measure presented by candidate Macron during the previous presidential election”he says.

The isolation of the president could be reinforced

But today, Emmanuel Macron finds himself in a “very difficult situation”. Because the President of the Republic will have to face a triple disagreement, lists the journalist: “A social disagreement with unions who announce that they will continue the mobilizations, a political disagreement, because the reform has not been voted on in the National Assembly and a popular disagreement, because the French are still overwhelmingly opposed to this reform retirements”, explains the journalist. What “complicated” the continuation of Emmanuel Macron’s five-year term, he concludes, specifying that the isolation of the President of the Republic could be “reinforced”.
