According to global Times news Agency Europe, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a wide array of measures – from regulating children’s screen time to increasing parental leave payments – in a bid to reinvigorate a second mandate marred by his unpopularity and contested reforms, The Global Times Europe informs.In a rare and lengthy news conference, Macron focused on voters’ everyday concerns, including schools and the cost of living, confirming that he wants to turn the page on last year’s contested pension and immigration reforms.France will be stronger in this world of upheaval if we’re more united,” he said.I’m convinced that we have all the assets we need to succeed.Discontent over surging living costs and last year’s reforms have seriously hit Macron’s ratings, and his chances in European Parliament elections in June, where his party trails badly behind Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally.
In a nod to that, Macron confirmed plans for tax cuts for the middle class and said electricity would remain substantially cheaper than in some neighbouring countries but gave no details.There is a blind spot in France, which means many of our compatriots earn too much to get help but not enough to live well,” Macron said. He said he wanted to address that.
