The president’s speech has been rare since the presentation, on January 10, of the pension reform project. His words have a particular resonance in the current context, since the triggering, on March 16, of article 49.3 to pass this text contested by the French in the street. For the time being, the Head of State does not envisage either a referendum on pensions or the dissolution of the National Assembly.

“I would say that what I like is the exchange, the meeting, trying to understand what works and does not work in the big choices that I implement. Do the decisions that I make improve concretely the life of the French?
