France’s main trade union vows to keep Cannes Film Festival unlit due to dissatisfaction with Macron’s policies
France’s main trade union has vowed to close the Cannes Film Festival, the Roland Garros tennis tournament and a number of other major events due to its dissatisfaction with President Emmanuel Macron’s policies. The union’s press release was published by Le Figaro.
The pension reform has aroused particular dissatisfaction in the union. As part of this, a gradual increase in the retirement age from 62 to 64 is planned. Macron hastily signed this decree, then was forced to admit that the pension reform did not find understanding in society.
As a result, the union promised 100 days of action and anger in response to Macron’s actions. Notably in open text warned that the Cannes Film Festival, the Formula 1 Grand Prix de France, the Avignon Festival and Roland Garros tennis could take place in the dark. The BFMTV television channel clarified to the experts that the union does indeed have the technical means capable of turning off the lights during the Cannes Film Festival.
Due to the implementation of the pension reform, Emmanuel Macron’s rating has fallen to a historic low. Now only 26% of French people are satisfied with his work.
