Unannounced, doing what the French call “swimming in the crowd”, the French president Emmanuel Macron shortly before arriving today at its official destination in the east France where about 200 demonstrators belonging to the leftist party of Insubordinate France awaited him, he stopped at a public market in the town of Dole where he conversed for some time – and several times argued – with merchants and citizens who were present.

One of them told the French president that he was “selling smoke” and had raised taxes, Macron told him that he was “talking nonsense”, but in the end they ended their dialogue amicably.

To a lady who told him that his reforms were delayed, the French president told her: “[email protected] too would like them to go faster.”

Emmanuel Macron then arrived at his official destination, the castle of Zou, where he spoke on the 200th anniversary of the death of French-Haitian general Toussaint Louverture, who led the struggle for the abolition of slavery. The French president said that Louverture realized from the beginning that simple insubordination as a form of struggle against slavery was futile and that is why he was in favor of the revolution.
