A book reveals Emmanuel Macron's exchanges with a journalist
On November 3, journalist Françoise Degois publishes "Vous êtes tous trop durs avec moi", a book revealing her exchanges with the President of the Republic. The next day, reactions multiply: Franz-Olivier Giesbert criticizes Emmanuel Macron over the pension reform, while Economy Minister Roland Lescure reacts to the revealed SMS messages by saying the suspension of the reform was not decided "lightly". Majority officials also react with embarrassment to these revelations, which concern in particular the pension reform. On November 8, the press analyzes Emmanuel Macron's response, judging his self-defense barely audible.
