A few days after the promulgation of the pension reform, the visit of the President of the Republic, Wednesday April 19, was heckled by protesters in Sélestat in the Bas-Rhin.

Boos to welcome the President of the Republic to Sélestat (Bas-Rhin), this Wednesday, April 19. A few days after the promulgation of the pension reform, Emmanuel Macron is back in the field, within reach of slaps, as he likes to say. “We don’t want your retirement, what don’t you understand about that”, invective a man. But in the crowd, some supporters are present to encourage the head of state.

The president is ironic, then recognizes his share of responsibility for the situation

On the town square, Emmanuel Macron does not disassemble and defends his reform, especially in front of a trade unionist from Unsa. Earlier in the day, a pot concert acted as the welcoming committee. Opponents were kept at a distance by the order service of the bis factory visited by the president. “It’s not the saucepans that will take France forward. We can massively relaunch the saucepan industry which does not produce enough”, he quips. But then he admits that in such a situation, “we all have a share of responsibility”. He is expected Thursday in the Hérault to talk about education.
