Emmanuel Macron continues his visit to Normandy. After Mont-Saint-Michel, make way for the landing beaches. The president will pay tribute to the soldiers who died on this part of the French coast on June 6, 1944. A way to commemorate history, and also to definitively close the chapter of retirements.
And 14! This Tuesday, June 6 will be marked by a new mobilization against the pension reform. While some of the French opposed to government reform will be paving the way, Emmanuel Macron will be on the beaches of Normandy to celebrate the 79th anniversary of D-Day.
The Head of State chose Colleville-Montgomery, near Ouistreham, as a base. He will be accompanied for the occasion by the Prime Minister. After Mont-Saint-Michel yesterday, the executive continues to turn the pages of history to better close the chapter on pensions.
A united executive couple
Because the President of the Republic is convinced that the storm is behind him. “Things are calmer than they have been,” he said. Even “if you don’t have to get used to a minority radicalism”, he adds. His movement on this day of mobilization is a total opposite. When the demonstrators are in the street, he will be alongside the last French survivor to have made the landing, Léon Gautier, 100, for a tribute to the 177 French who participated in D-Day, June 6 1944. Then he will inaugurate the new Arromanches museum, ready before the 80ᵉ anniversary of the Landings which will be commemorated next year.
Above all, and the image will be scrutinized very closely, the head of state will appear alongside his Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, also elected from Calvados. The opportunity is too good for the executive couple to publicly affirm their solidity. Already on Monday, Emmanuel Macron denied the existence of tensions with the host of Matignon. For him, it’s not even literature, but lapping.
