Macron responds to Pif readers

Emmanuel Macron, full of social anger over his pension reform, answered questions from Pif readers in February, reassuring himself that he was disappointed when things weren’t going “fast enough”. The head of state spoke on the 75th anniversary of the famous dog, interviewed young readers on February 20 and was broadcast this Wednesday. 49.3 has not yet been used to reform, while his detractors highlight his pension inflexibility, accusing him of “playing the lie” of the situation.

Or “you were able to provide solutions,” and this is “satisfactory,” launches Emmanuel Macron. “Either it isn’t, and those are the moments that affect you too, that are frustrating because you see things aren’t moving fast enough.”
