A long-awaited speech. Three months after the start of the protests against the pension reform, Emmanuel Macron spoke in a speech broadcast this Monday, April 17 at 8 p.m. “Is this reform accepted? Obviously not. Despite months of consultation, a consensus could not be found. I regret it and we must learn all the lessons” of this “anger expressed”recognized the President of the Republic, according to whom it is not necessary “to be deaf”but “the answer can be neither in immobility nor in extremism”. After having addressed the French for about ten minutes, the Head of State spent the evening at the Élysée before enjoying a strange stroll through the streets of Paris.
While walking rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, Emmanuel Macron had a funny encounter: a small group who asked him to sing. “The president, accompanied by Brigitte Macron, coming out of his speech, came across us singing the Piedmontese and joined us”explained Jean Etxeberri to Current Values. PFor several minutes, filmed by telephones, in particular that of a journalist from the opinion weekly, Emmanuel Macron therefore sang a song “historical” of the Pyrenees, The shelter by Michel Etcheverry.

Let’s re-enchant this country”also posted on Facebook “Canto Project”.
Emmanuel Macron “couldn’t” know the singers
According to Checknews, this association “subsidized by the Ministry of Culture to the tune of 40,000 euros was founded in 2020 by militants of the radical far right”. In this app? “Classics of French song” but also “nationalist airs or military songs of the Third Reich”. With Liberation, the entourage of Emmanuel Macron assures that the head of state was not aware of their identity. “He could not know at that time the background of each person he was talking to”, he reacted. And to add: “He took a moment with his wife. As they were walking in Paris at the end of the evening, they were stopped by a group of young people singing who asked the President if he could join them. He then joined them for a Pyrenean song that he loves and knows”.
