“Public opinion swings for the debate, Macron”

“Emmanuel Macrons approval ratings are recovering from record low levels – after that the French president responded to the widespread protests in the country in public debates.”

“Between June and november, when the protest movement known as the Yellow vests grew over the whole of France, fell Macrons popularity with around 15 percentage points in the polls. In the two new measurements, he has recovered: one from the institute BVA believes 31% of the French that the Macron is a good president, up four percentage points, and in a from Odoxa it is 30 per cent.”

“Macron took the initiative to a larger national debate, where the frenchmen had to give their views to the nation’s mayors. The president himself launched a debatturné the 15 January, where he defended his reform agenda in hour-long discussions.”
