Keep moving.

While the discontent focused on the pension reform, the Head of State repeated it: “I assume this reform necessary for the balance and preservation of a pay-as-you-go system.” Rejecting everything “state of mind”he assured that “The mission of a President of the Republic is neither to be loved nor not to be loved, it is to try to do well for his country and to act”.

Emmanuel Macron recognizes his share of responsibility in the social conflict

“When we get to a situation like this, we all have a share of the responsibility” And “I have my share, I did not manage to convince enough, we did not manage to have a minimum of consensus for there to be more pacification”. But “say that France would not be a democracy, I think that it is an excess of language which increases our difficulties collectively” he asserted.

Asked about the advisability of using article 49-3 to pass a text on immigration without a vote, he assured that Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne “will work with his ministers so that there is a plan”. “It is clear that on these subjects, we need to build a majority, I think it is findable”, he added.
