Emmanuel Macron affirms his wish to continue

Emmanuel Macron went to the Rungis market (Val-de-Marne), Tuesday, February 21 in the morning, to see “the France that works and gets up early”. Asked about the arduousness, the president spoke about pensions: “We have fewer workers than twenty years ago, we have more retirees and we live longer”. A butcher is not convinced by the postponement of the legal retirement age.

French people mostly opposed to the reform

Asked about labor shortages, Emmanuel Macron delegates the response to the deputy of rebellious France, Rachel Kéké : “Madam deputy, sir says the opposite of you, I have just been yelled at because he tells me ‘there is too much social'”. Taxed for carrying out an unfair reform, the president took advantage of his visit to ask for a new gesture on diesel. During this trip, Emmanuel Macron declared that he relied on “common sense” of the French, who remain mostly opposed to the pension reform.
