A concert of pans of opponents of the pension reform awaited Emmanuel Macron, visiting Saintes in Charente-Maritime, Thursday, May 4 in the morning. The Head of State must present the reform of vocational education there.

More pans to welcome Emmanuel Macron. A hundred demonstrators were present for the president’s visit to Saintes, in Charente-Maritime. The opponents, mainly trade unionists, kept a distance, 300 meters from the high school that Emmanuel Macron will visit. The prefecture has banned gatherings around the school. To circumvent the gendarmes, the demonstrators invade the railway.

Electricity cut by the CGT

Emmanuel Macron will speak on vocational education, but some high school students and teachers preferred to demonstrate. “We really come to a fed up of which the government is absolutely unaware”, says a college professor. The electricity has just been cut by the CGT, in the high school that Emmanuel Macron visits. A generator takes over, so that the Head of State can make his announcements.
