With a clear intention to show the French that he is now entering the election campaign vigorously, Emmanuel Macron chooses to visit a region of France, Carven, on the first day after the first round of the presidential electionwhich yesterday brought him third in the voters’ preferences and first Marin Lepen.
In a live interview hosted by a French television station in a local cafe, the candidate for re-election, President Macron, appeared on political issues united and open to collaborations, while on social media he hinted that he could put water in his wine, such as retirement at least at the age of 65, without ruling out holding a referendum on the issue. However, he made it clear that if his proposal for an even gradual increase in the retirement age is not accepted, it will mean a weakening of the current pensions, which in his opinion should not be less than 1,100 euros, but also a burden on the insurance system with debts. which, as he said, will be repaid by the next generation. Also apparently wanting to address the French left-wing audience, Macron spoke of a new social contract, under which the workers of a company would see, like the shareholders, that their incomes increase “when things go well”.
Referring to the insurance system of France, he described it as a treasure created in the past by “Goliaths and communists”.
In political issues Macron He refrained from making harsh remarks, saying he opposed Marin Lepen’s ideas but respected her and her constituents. He hinted that if he received support from his predecessors, Sarkozy and Hollande, he would be welcomed, while when asked if he was worried about the polls that show little superiority over Lepen, he replied that if he listened to the polls he would never have tried to become President of the Republic.
