After the revelations of the Uber Files, the opposition accuses Emmanuel Macron of having defended the interests of the American giant when he was Minister of the Economy. The case fueled the debates in the National Assembly on Tuesday, July 12.

The opposition has been waiting for a response for two days. Asked about his privileged ties with the American giant of VTC, Uber, Emmanuel Macron answered bluntly, Tuesday July 12, by taking up a quote by Jacques Chirac. “It touches me one without move the other”, he launched. The Head of State then defended his action, insisting on the thousands of jobs created when he was Minister of the Economy.

In the National Assembly, the presidential camp also found itself heckled by the opposition during the first questions to the government on Tuesday. The Nupes calls for a commission of inquiry into the links between Emmanuel Macron and Uber during his visit to Bercy, between 2014 and 2016. For its part, the National Rally wants to launch an information mission.
