Emmanuel Macron wondered about his agenda on Sunday. A few hours earlier, around 7 a.m., three police officers from the Roubaix police station died after a collision with a driver driving in the wrong direction, positive for alcohol and cannabis. The President of the Republic looked at the images of the bouquets of flowers deposited by the Roubaisiens. He especially left to decant while waiting for the press conference of the prosecutor of Lille detailing the reasons for the accident.
Then, Tuesday 23 at the end of the day, he decided by postponing his trip to the Var on the theme of ecology, scheduled for Thursday 25.

During the Council of Ministers, the President of the Republic specified that the facts mentioned are not all of the same nature, before having much more globalizing words on the evolution of society. “You have to be intractable on the merits.
