Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of LFI (video): “I am struck by his indifference to the social suffering that is spreading in our country. (…) How can he have (…) as his only speech once more inequalities, social violence, that is to say working longer – which is absolutely not necessary – and depriving even more people of their unemployment benefits (…), all this with the idea rude enough that people would prefer allowances to real work. (…) Definitely everything that comes through his mouth is a kind of challenge and aggression once morest the mass of French people who listen to him”.
Mathilde Panot, president of the LFI group at the assembly (twitter): “No salary increase, unemployment insurance reform, uberisation assumed, retirement at 65… On this July 14, King Macron should remember that the only sovereign of our country is the people!”
Olivier Faure, first secretary of the PS (Twitter): “I have tried in vain to seize every opportunity to compromise with Emmanuel Macron. Wages, unemployment insurance, pensions, Uberisation of work, tax on superprofits: its course is clear. Its outstretched hand does not concern us.”
Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the PCF (Twitter): “Energy and food crisis: the President is preparing the French for new difficulties. Above all, we must restore our sovereignty and tackle speculation! Invest and invest to regain our independence, protect the nation and the French”.
Julien Bayou, national secretary of EELV (Twitter): “Great feat by Emmanuel Macron, able to talk regarding the difficulties of recruitment in jobs in tension without saying a word regarding the obligation to increase salaries and improve bad work conditions”.
Bruno Retailleau, president of the LR group in the Senate (press release): “Emmanuel Macron is disloyal to the French because he will have spent his interview twisting the truth to hide his failures (…) To succeed, Macron 2 must it is imperative to take stock of Macron 1. The President of the Republic cannot remain stuck in his first five-year term”.
Olivier Marleix, president of the LR group in the National Assembly (Twitter): “No Emmanuel Macron, the vote of the national representation is never a + night heat stroke +. It is the voice of the French in their diversity”.
Laurent Jacobelli, RN deputy (on BFMTV): “Those who thought that Emmanuel Macron might change were wrong. He is obtuse, stubborn, he will never change. He continues his desire for social damage, with the reform of unemployment benefits and pension reform, and an austerity policy”. “He is an above-ground President of the Republic who has understood nothing”
Julien Odoul, deputy RN (BFMTV): “The + heat stroke +, that’s called democracy. Mr. Macron will have to get used to it. (…) We have a National Assembly that reflects the currents of opinion of the country (…). I call on it to sobriety in general, and to humility”.
Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, deputy and president of Debout la France (Twitter): “Totally surreal interview with a talkative and overwhelmed Emmanuel Macron! How will the French be able to bear this for another 5 years?”
