Emmanuel Macron was re-elected a year ago to the day for a second term. A year later, he is plunged into a crisis of confidence, following the pension reform. The president, who speaks Monday April 24 in Le Parisien Today in France, admits that the error may have been not to be present enough.
Emmanuel Macron continues his media offensive. In the morning of 24 april in a long face to face with readers of the Parisian newspaper, the Head of State come back on pension reform. After months of tension, Emmanuel Macron, withdrawn on the file, recognizes: “Maybe the mistake was not being present enough to give consistency and bring this reform myself“. And while he has given himself 100 days to relaunch his mandate, he adds: “I have to re-engage in the public debate, because there are things that are not clear.“
Two new projects
Already, just a week ago in a speech, the president recognized a misunderstanding. After months of tension, Emmanuel Macron returns to the field, a heckled return. At each trip, opponents of the pension reform are heard to the sound of pans. First president re-elected outside cohabitation, Emmanuel Macron failed to obtain an absolute majority in the Assembly. A year later, his popularity rating is in freefall. The president wants to turn the page on the pension crisis. He is launching two new projects which could once again divide, such as a text on immigration. In the meantime, Elisabeth Borne will present her roadmap next Wednesday.
