Christine Poumailloux, a shopkeeper struggling to make ends meet in this fading industrial town, nourished a deep dislike for Emmanuel Macron as the former investment banker advocated a free-market overhaul of France and then catapulted to the presidency.Finally, a movement emerged to channel her anger: the gilets jaunes, or yellow vests. This month, the 58-year-old mother of two was dodging tear gas and stun grenades in her yellow vest near the Arc de Triomphe in protests that shook the nation.“I’ve never protested before in my life,” Ms. Poumailloux said. “Since Macron is there, the anger has been rising, rising, rising.”WSJ
Un « tournant social » du quinquennat ? Pas en mettant le patronat à contribution, en tout cas. Car les mesures annoncées écartent soigneusement toute contribution directe des entreprises. « C’est d’abord l’état d’urgence économique et social que je veux décréter aujourd’hui. » En annonçant que le salaire des travailleurs au Smic augmenterait de « 100 euros par mois dès 2019 », il est loin de se montrer à la hauteur des attentes formulées sur les ronds-points. Emmanuel Macron ne compte en effet pas donner de coup de pouce au Smic comme espéré, mais augmenter la prime d’activité, une aide sociale qui n’alourdira pas la facture pour les employeurs.
