Whistles and pots and pans are now part of the scenery of each of the President's trips. This Monday, in Versailles for the Choose France summit, Emmanuel Macron did not escape.
CGT flags, whistles, firecrackers and pots and pans flew in the streets of Versailles. According to the union, 150 to 200 people were present to stroll from the Versailles Chantier station to the prefecture of Yvelines. The objective: to make noise to mark their opposition to the head of state.
