In these times of a Covid-19 pandemic, most politicians are taking over the debate regarding the new sanitary rules. Indeed, while many French people expected to find a new period of confinement, Emmanuel Macron simply decided to toughen health measures by giving himself a chance to avoid it. So, "all entry into France and any exit from our territory to or from a country outside the European Union will be prohibited ", in accordance with the declaration of Jean Castex. Non-food shopping centers of more than 20,000 m2 have also had to close their doors since January 31, 2021. A decision shared by certain political figures, including François Bayrou. "I think our duty and our responsibility is to live with this threat and control it while continuing to live"Said the 60-year-old on the Grand Jury RTL, Le Figaro, LCI. An intervention widely followed on social networks. Internet users have also been numerous to comment on the passage where the mayor of Pau speaks on "the middle class".
"With 4000 € per month, we are from the middle class"
Many internet users be surprised by these words. Asked about his estimate of the wealth threshold in the issue of Grand Jury RTL, Le Figaro, LCI, François Bayrou replied: "It depends on whether we are talking about heritage". The politician was then cut off by one of the presenters who said: "François Hollande said it's 4000 euros per month". "4000 euros per month for me it's the middle class", retorted François Bayrou. A statement that is far from unanimous on social networks. "The average salary is 2000, so the middle class is around 2000, it's still not complicated to understand! ", "My God ! Hello Earth, here the Moon! These highly paid politicians are really on another planet"," When we tell you that they are above ground … Chiche € 2,000 increase for a median salary of € 4,000 ! "," Even for a couple that's not it … Completely outside the realities", can we read on Twitter. Not sure that François Bayrou expected such reactions …
