Contemptuous, Emmanuel Macron? No, he assured this Monday evening, interviewed by Gilles Bouleau on TF1. The French president, who was responding to the criticisms made against him, especially during the protest against the pension reform, thus "rejected" this adjective especially taken up, according to him, by "the extremes".
"I reject (this term) because we do not go to contact as I have been doing since I am engaged in political life, when we have contempt for people, assured Emmanuel Macron. And I'll tell you when you have contempt, you don't care. »
"True contempt is lying to people. (...) I have always told the French the truth, what I believed and with sincerity to carry these commitments, "assured Emmanuel Macron in front of Gilles Bouleau.
🔴🗣️ "I'm never contemptuous ... Those who really despise the French are those who lie to them. And on lies, extremes are much better!" says @EmmanuelMacron

Sometimes I am told you are too tough, you are too determined, too energetic. Sometimes, others tell you that we do not go far enough. »
"You think it's good for my apple to do what we do on pensions, to carry difficult texts, to suffer and accept the unpopularity that goes with it," Macron said. I have always gone to contact by talking for a long time and so I am sometimes hard to the bad yes. And the French president to support: "Contemptuous, I reject it. »
"Someone who despises does not go in front of the crowd, had already defended Emmanuel Macron in front of the readers of the Parisian in mid-April. There are little sentences that I totally assume. When I answer a young horticultural man, with whom I speak for ten minutes and tell me that he is ready to look for a job in the restaurant industry, whom we cross the street to find, it is true. »
