Emmanuel Macron arrived under good escort in Savines-le-Lac (Hautes-Alpes), Thursday March 30, in a very tense social context. The president came to present his water management plan, a major subject in times of drought.
Emmanuel Macron wants to turn the page on pensions, but it was without counting on several dozen demonstrators. Trade unionists or inhabitants of the Hautes-Alpes have given a special welcome to the head of state for his first trip to the region for more than two months. President came today to talk about water management, but the protesters wanted talk about the controversial pension reform, adopted thanks to 49.3.
Emmanuel Macron inflexible
“Macron is looking for a way out of this crisis and he is looking for other subjects. We are there all the same to show a presence and then perhaps relay the many demonstrations throughout France“said a protester. Barely arrived, in a calmer atmosphere, Emmanuel Macron spoke about the dispute. But he remains inflexible. “There is a social protest that exists on a reform but that does not mean that everything must stop”said the head of state.
