Emmanuel Macron will briefly leave the golden bubble of Fort Brégançon. The President of the Republic is going to Toulon this Tuesday to "pay tribute" to the home carers who take care of the elderly or disabled.

The Elysée explains that Emmanuel Macron intends to express his "gratitude" for the "home professionals thanks to which people have been able to stay at home", despite "a task made more difficult by the difficulty of providing a mask, and by the confinement. "

Ads for the sector

Emmanuel Macron will make announcements for the sector, specifies the presidency. It should also reaffirm the ambition "that people who wish to age at home as long as possible", continues this source. The president will be accompanied by Brigitte Bourguignon, Minister Delegate in charge of Autonomy and Sophie Cluzel, Secretary of State in charge of People with disabilities.

Our ambition for the #autonomy policy is more than a social advance, it is a real social project.

"It is to fight to allow everyone to belong to each other until the end of their life. It is to have the concern for the # dignity of each one."
