Presidential D-12: Macron’s reversal on pensions, Sarkozy comes out of his reserve, Le Pen plays the democracy card

Dear subscribers,

Emmanuel Macron let the first round pass before putting water in his wine. Monday evening, to everyone’s surprise, the president-candidate therefore reviewed his position on his pension reform and the totem that constituted it: the gradual decline in the legal retirement age to 65 years effective in 2030 could turn into 64 years by 2027. A relaxation aimed mainly at speaking to the electorate on the left, who would like to abstain or even vote for Marine Le Pen. We will come back to this reversal which has had a certain political echo for a few hours. Also on the program this evening, the expected support of Nicolas Sarkozy for his successor. If the former President of the Republic urges the right to “gathering” behind the tenant of the Élysée, the Republicans do not really hear it that way. We will also discuss this Tuesday the RN candidate who wants to wake up the anti-Macron vote, by denouncing the “attacks on democracy”
