He did not convince everyone, and the oppositions did not hesitate to say so. Emmanuel Macron has, once again, tried to turn the page of the pension reform during an interview with the news of 20 Hours of TF1, this Monday evening. Purchasing power, investments, diplomacy... The themes discussed were numerous, offering as many weapons to the opponents of the President of the Republic.

Among them, Marine Le Pen denounced, on Twitter, the "denial of reality" of the head of state, ensuring that the RN was ready to "succeed where" the majority had "failed".
Over the course of the interviews, it seems that Emmanuel Macron is denying reality on Macronism. Impoverishment of the middle classes, savagery of society, contempt for democracy... A severe but fair self-portrait!
We are ready to succeed where they have failed.

On the other side of the political scale, LFI MP François Ruffin found that Emmanuel Macron was "completely above ground" and judged that the calendar presented by the Head of State was "rather vague", pointing in particular at the announcement of the planned tax reduction for the middle classes... By 2027. "He has nothing to propose on" the issue of wages, he said on BFMTV on Monday evening.
Criticism from all sides
In the same camp, Manuel Bompard considered that the president had carried out an "umpteenth exercise of self-satisfaction, contempt and lies. (...) We understand why 65% of French people no longer listen to him." Emmanuel Macron is "disconnected as ever", for Mathilde Panot, president of the LFI group in the National Assembly.
On the day of the great feast at Versailles, #Macron20h deigned to speak to the people. But to say what?
Inflation? He can't do anything, we'll see in the fall.
The withdrawal of the pension reform?
No way, he doesn't want to lose face.
In short, disconnected as ever.

Even among the LR, yet dredged by the government during the sequence of the pension reform, Emmanuel Macron has not convinced. "A bit of the feeling that the President spoke to say nothing," commented Eric Ciotti on Twitter.
On the side of the PS, Olivier Faure criticized the "same refrain" on the part of a "minority" president who "despises 9 out of 10 active people, all the unions and the National Assembly".
