Emmanuel Macron “is very contemptuous”, according to Eric Coquerel

“He is very contemptuous towards people who are deprived of employment with this kind of sentences“, reacted Monday June 26 on franceinfo, while Emmanuel Macron assured the mother of a job seeker that there was “10 offers“possible for his son, inviting him to do”the tour of the Old Port“. This statement was made on the sidelines of the President of the Republic’s three-day trip to Marseille.

“We used to say ‘the king touches you, God heals you‘it was the touch of the scrofula, the king was granted like that a power to heal people“, continued Eric Coquerel. With this president, “it’s Macron touches you and the market finds you a job, I don’t understand why, he does that. Emmanuel Macron, he had already done the trick to us by saying that the unemployed had only to cross the street to find a job“, detailed the chairman of the finance committee at the National Assembly.

Unemployment, “not the fault of the unemployed”

“It’s not true that people who are at the RSA don’t bother to look for work“, supported the deputy LFI. “It’s a very right-wing, very liberal view of the employment issue in this country today. That’s not how we solve problems“, he criticized. “It’s a philosophy that I don’t share and that I find contemptuous.“.

“Why would someone with a certain qualification have to go and take a lower paid job?“, he wondered. “You can’t force people to take more devalued, tougher jobs just because they exist somewhere, that’s not acceptable.“, estimates the deputy LFI of Seine-Saint-Denis.

According to Eric Coquerel, “it is rather necessary to talk about the sharing of working time, of wealth, of ensuring that people’s qualifications correspond to the jobs they can hold. It’s not the fault of the unemployed, if they find themselves unemployed“.
