Emmanuel Macron chooses a working-class neighborhood for his first walkabout

Traveling to Cergy (Val-d’Oise), Wednesday April 27, Emmanuel Macron wants to show that he still wants to get in touch with the French. “This first trip is very symbolic. (…) Since Sunday, Emmanuel Macron had neither spoken nor shown”indicates the journalist Anne Bourse, in duplex from Cergy.

On Wednesday morning, Emmanuel Macron therefore chose a working-class neighborhood for his first post-election walkabout. He will meet there”residents, merchants and entrepreneurs“, continues the journalist, who reports that “the Elysée explains that this trip illustrates [la] the president’s desire to listen to the French people“. The inhabitants, them, “are waiting for acts that will really change their daily lives“, concludes Anne Bourse.
