Former walker Aurélien Taché, deputy of the new group "Ecology Democracy Solidarity", asked Emmanuel Macron Sunday "strong measures to protect young people who risk being the first to be sacrificed" from the economic crisis.
"We must not let the youth suffer on the social level, they will be hit hard by the coming crisis," warned France Inter Aurélien Taché.
Extend the RSA, pay for internships
"We must for example extend the RSA to 18, pay for internships from day one and have strong demands on companies to hire these young people," he said.
"The most important thing I expect from the President of the Republic this evening is to honor the aspirations of this youth who is mobilizing" for the defense of the climate and against racism, added the deputy from Val d 'Oise a few hours before Emmanuel Macron's speech, scheduled for 8 p.m.
"It is the youth who put the climate fight at the very top of the political agenda, so the first strong response that we could bring is to follow what the climate convention, which will deliver its conclusions in a few days, will say, "he declined, saying he was in favor of a referendum to endorse his conclusions.
"Recover the spirit of confidence"
"It is also the youth who are today on the streets and for equality for justice and we certainly should not ignore these demands, there is today a scourge with discrimination and you have to be able to provide strong answers to it, ”he continued.
Thousands of people demonstrated Saturday in France against racism and police violence, against a backdrop of anger among the police.
To "rediscover the spirit of confidence that animated those who supported Emmanuel Macron in 2017", the latter must "change posture" and put himself "in a truly listening logic", according to Aurélien Taché.
