The retreats were invited during the trip of Emmanuel Macron to Pau. The President of the Republic was arrested by a professor on this reform during his trip to Pau alongside François Bayrou on Tuesday.

First trip to France since the end of November and first tense exchange on pensions. In Pau, Emmanuel Macron arrived at the Beaumont palace, the city's congress center, to talk about ecology alongside François Bayrou, a sequence well wedged in the theme of the return of the President of the Republic. But on his way, the Head of State was arrested by a college math teacher and municipal councilor in Morlaàs, Pierre Coste, who wanted to draw his attention to the situation of teachers and request the withdrawal of the pension reform project

There followed a vigorous distribution of Emmanuel Macron, far from the press kept at a distance. Emmanuel Macron: “ You are neither sympathetic nor respectful. Let’s ignore all that, I’m coming to see you and I’m talking to you. Please don't teach me respect lessons, or apply them to yourself. "

Pierre Coste: " To be heard sometimes, you have to shout "

Emmanuel Macron: " Exemplarity is also useful "

Pierre Coste goes on to consider in particular that handing over the legion of honor to the boss of Black Rock France is not exemplary. " The pension reform is a gift for all these people ," insists the city councilor. " But no! It's wrong ! »Replies Emmanuel Macron.

Even during a millimeter displacement, dissatisfaction with the pension reform caught up with the President of the Republic.
