“Emmanuel Macron’s problem is that he has an electoral machine in his head, like any politician”indicates Philippe Moreau-Chevrolet, professor at Sciences Po and president of MCBG Conseil, Wednesday January 17 the day after the press conference given by the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, at the Elysée Palace.
“If he thinks you don’t vote, he won’t give you anything”
“Also, continues Philippe Moreau-Chevrolet in the Franceinfo Talk, if he thinks you don’t vote, he won’t give you anything ! And the reality is this… So if young people want things to change, young people must vote. As long as only boomers vote [ndlr : l’expression “boomer” est utilisée par la jeune génération pour se moquer, critiquer, parfois dénigrer la génération des baby-boomers, estimant que cette dernière est enfermée dans des préjugés dépassés]we will have a boomer policy ! Go vote, and there you will be taken into account !”
