La Ferme des Animaux
Macron has written an open letter to the protesters. As described by France24:
"For me, there is no banned issue. We won't agree on everything, which is normal in a democracy. But at least we'll show we're a people which is not afraid of talking, exchanging, debating," Macron wrote in the letter published by his office. While Macron assured that there were "no forbidden questions", he did say that the right to seek asylum "could not be questioned". He also said the government would not revisit steps taken "to encourage investment and make work pay more". One of the frequent demands from the protesters, who are mostly from rural or small-town France, is a repeal of Macron's move last year to cut the ISF "fortune tax", which was previously levied on high-earners. "We will not pursue tax cuts without lowering the overall level of our public spending," Macron said in the letter.All questions are equal but only MY questions count. YOUR questions are impertinent and idiotic, so I will ignore them. ¶ 3:53 PM
