The President of the Republic tried Monday evening to turn the page on the pension reform. Emmanuel Macron gave the impression of wanting to start his five-year term from scratch.

The head of state said he wanted to "rebuild and regain the momentum of our nation" He also promised "strong announcements from the beginning of May" to fight against "all forms of delinquency" and "all fraud, whether social or fiscal" The announcements dear to the right-wing electorate, on the other hand, were much more precise.
