Coupe de France: under pressure, Emmanuel Macron will not go to the lawn at the Stade de France

The final of the Coupe de France takes place under high tension, Saturday April 29, so that unlike previous years, President Emmanuel Macron should not go to the lawn of the Stade de France. “In a tense political climate, the president prefers to play the dodge”reports journalist Christelle Méral, live from the Stade de France. “Since 2017, the president had always greeted the players before kick-off but this time he will do it discreetly to avoid the image of a president being whistled and booed”she continues.

A new show of force

However, thousands of red cards were handed out in the afternoon. Thus, the Head of State risks not escaping the marks of discontent. His entourage denounces politicians “who want to make this sporting event a political fight”. The next appointment is given for May 1 where the unions hope to make a new show of force.
