A year after the start of his second term, the President of the Republic has a series of difficult situations between a strongly contested pension reform, a decline in popularity and the strained relationship with the unions.
A year after his re-election, the situation is difficult for the President of the Republic. After months of conflict over the pension reform and tensions, its opponents are trying to use its difficulties to their advantage. “I only feel from Emmanuel Macron distance, brutality, institutional violence”asserted Marine Le Pen facing the camera.
A reform that does not pass
Today, only 26% of French people say they are satisfied with the head of state. A drop of two points compared to last month, according to an Ifop poll. He is the first President re-elected since the cohabitation. For his second term, Emmanuel Macron seems more hesitant, taking more than a month to appoint a new Prime Minister. In June, he failed to obtain an absolute majority in the National Assembly. The pension reform marked the high point this year with the use of article 49.3 and a break with the unions and public opinion.
