Emmanuel Macron wants to relaunch a ‘great debate’ to calm agricultural anger. Some 200 people – trade unionists, farmers, associations – are expected around the President of the Republic.
Imagined to respond to the ‘yellow vest’ crisis in 2019, the “ great debate” had a mixed result. Measures had certainly been implemented at its end, such as the indexation of pensions of less than 2,000 euros to inflation. But the Covid-19 pandemic quickly put an end to Emmanuel Macron's reform momentum.
