Macron took an example on Obama
“Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” , the painting installed behind Emmanuel Macron, was painted by Shepard Fairey, known under the pseudonym of “Obey”. If his style tells you something, it is because this artist is 47 years behind the famous drawing “Hope”, symbol of the Barack Obama campaign in 2008.
More than six in ten French (61%) say they have not been convinced, according to a Harris Interactive poll for RMC and Atlantico Monday. Only 39% of respondents are of the opposite opinion.
Among the most critical, his main opponents in the political arena.
Bernard Cazeneuve , the former prime minister, found Emmanuel Macron “predictable” and “as in itself” Sunday night on TF1 and LCI, reiterating his criticism against the budget presented by the government.
“There is in the implementation of its policy a concern for justice that I do not assertive enough. In particular budget . When we decide, when we said there were three months ago in trouble the public finance situation was appalling, to set up 4.5 billion tax break for the wealthiest french taxpayers, 3.5 under the ISF and 1.5 under that is called the flat tax, and at the same time it is over 3 billion 3.5 billion increase in the CSG on the poorest pensioners, is that right? ” , Pointed to Bernard Cazeneuve.
“When creating the conditions, these tax measures, for a person who has a wealth of 400 million euros has a reduced tax of 6 million per year, while at the same time a retired couple who just over 2,000 euros will increase its CSG 600 euros, is that right? ” , He said.
And question again: “When we see the change by measuring the taxation of capital, the flat tax, that those who derive their income from capital, the pension will be taxed at 12.8% while the most modest of French with an income of 9,700 euros will be taxed at 14%, is it just? ” Added the former budget minister.
Richard Ferrand , president of LREM group in the National Assembly appreciated the intervention of the president: “No blah, results, that’s what the French want” , he began.
“It’s not my fault if some of your colleagues (journalists) chose to ten or fifteen minutes on the famous brothel. It would be better to talk of Europe and ecology. But you know the freedom of the press “ has crazy MP Finistère, as was done to him that the head of State had spoken neither in Europe nor ecology.
“We should not now try to find out what is right, left, etc ., The very foundation of the approach we have conducted since the election campaign is precisely to overcome a number of divisions and do what that is effective and fair. therefore we have to change in order to read what we do and not take old code to new practices. Otherwise no one will understand. ”
Philippe Martinez, the secretary general of the CGT union said on Monday that Emmanuel Macron was “more than ever the president for billionaires” after his televised speech, “step in the real world” .
“It is more than ever the president of billionaires and he assumes touting the successful ones – the famous first climber – and despising those who are fighting to keep their jobs” , denounced Philippe Martinez. He resumed the metaphor of the President on the rope pulled by those who succeed, to add: “If there is the first climber goes up and the others break the figure, that is not good” .
He criticized Emmanuel Macron of “advocating success for some as a kind of model of society and to treat others lazy because they can not do it” .
Marine Le Pen, president of the Front National party, said that the intervention of Emmanuel Macron was “the level of a prime minister” . She denounced a “nomadic society, a construction project” the head of state.
“In a speech punctuated by tunnels technocratic level of a Prime Minister, we have seen a president who is trying laboriously to explain his style judged almost unanimously dismissive or sufficient and systems that appear over the explanations as gas plants “ writes Le Pen. “Basically, it confirmed its plan to build a nomadic society with priorities reaffirmed loop: push employees to resign more easily by opening them the right to compensation, forcing the unemployed to work while away from home them, stalk investors expected to invest their savings in the casino, designate homeowners targets. ”
” His demonstration faces notorious inconsistencies: how to solve, as he claims, the housing problem by discouraging investment in the stone? How believe that increasing the CSG, it increases the purchasing power of pensioners? “ .
