Le président de la République a tenté lundi soir de tourner la page de la réforme des retraites en promettant d’agir sur plusieurs chantiers importants lors des prochains mois. Mais hormis des mesures sur le régalien, Emmanuel Macron est resté flou sur ses intentions. Sans doute pas suffisant pour apaiser la colère des Français, qui étaient plusieurs milliers à répondre à son allocution par des concerts de casseroles.

The President of the Republic tried Monday evening to turn the page on pension reform by promising to act on several important projects in the coming months. But apart from measures on the sovereign, Emmanuel Macron remained vague about his intentions. Probably not enough to appease the anger of the French, who were several thousand to respond to his speech with concerts of saucepans.
