“When Emmanuel Macron says he is not a candidate, he makes fun of us, he is obsessed today with the candidacy of Valérie Pécresse”, declared on franceinfo Daniel Fasquelle, the mayor of Touquet, national treasurer of LR, after the interview granted by the head of state to TF1 and LCI and broadcast Wednesday evening, December 15. “Emmanuel Macron is in the countryside, and we can see that he is destabilized by us, the LR”, he judges.
During this interview, Emmanuel Macron estimated that Valérie Pécresse’s proposal to remove 150,000 civil servants was not possible, because an “efficient” state was needed. “Emmanuel Macron himself had proposed to cut civil servant posts and he was unable to do so”, answers the mayor of Touquet. “We know very well that France is over-administered, Valérie Pécresse was precise on this subject, she wants less administrative administration and redistribute posts where there is most need, the police, the justice system. . “
Same tone on the pension reform again mentioned by Emmanuel Macron. “He lied to the French when he told us, five years ago, that this pension reform was not useful”, he said, denouncing the lack of seriousness of the Head of State.
Emmanuel Macron also returned to many small sentences that he himself described as “hurtful” and that he said he regretted it. “It’s very good that he does it but we can see that that was the only purpose of this interview, it was an exercise in self-justification to try to erase this image of president of the rich”, he said, denouncing in passing his management of the yellow vests and Covid-19 crisis that he “hadn’t known how to anticipate”.
