This past weekend, President Macron announced that he was renouncing not just his monthly pension of $5,700 as president when he’s out of office, as well as his monthly stipend of $12,300 as a member of the constitutional council when he’s out of office.
This, I think is a good way to show that he can “walk the talk”, but of course, Fabien Roussel, in charge of the communist party, blurted out that “[giving up on such benefits] is a luxury that few French people can afford”.
This infers that Macron can afford it, so that’s no big deal, which goes a long way to say that too many of my countrymen have a seriously defective judgment and a culture that is totally off-quilter.
I only hope that Macron won’t budge under the pressure of these imbeciles!
