Two days after the promulgation of the highly controversial pension reform, Emmanuel Macron's short speech was watched by nearly 15.1 million viewers. This represents 69.5% of audience share.

By way of comparison, in a similar format, 15.5 million viewers followed the President of the Republic's previous speech last June, in which he spoke for the first time since the loss of his absolute majority in the general elections. The speech was broadcast on all the channels that broadcast it, according to figures from Médiamétrie published Tuesday.
