Like some festivals, Emmanuel Macron’s travels are now available in two atmospheres, in and off. With, on the side of the main stage, a President of the Republic in reconquest, available with his interlocutors, rolling out campaign themes, offensive on his balance sheet… Like a candidate who would prepare his re-election.
On Tuesday April 25, for his third visit in six days, the Head of State went to Vendôme (Loir-et-Cher) to discuss with medical professionals in a nursing home, a “ideal type” of organization and convergence of skills, in the words of Mr. Macron. “The challenge, we know it, we have a shortage of caregivers and it is not going to be reduced”he said after talking about the “zoning”, threatened maternity, medical assistants… A dialogue broadcast on the social networks of the Elysée.

Some bags had nevertheless been searched, the prefecture of Loir-et-Cher having decided to prohibit “sound amplifying devices”.
A few hundred meters away, on the off side, protesters waved CGT or Solidarity flags and banged on pots under the watchful eye of the CRS. Trying to bypass the security device, then resigning.
Day after day, opponents of pension reform continue to track Mr. Macron. Provident, the services of the Elysée had installed a generator in case trade unionists cut the current, as in the Bas-Rhin and the Hérault, last places of the unofficial tour of France of the head of state.
