French President Emmanuel Macron has called on the strikers paralyzing the country's railways to observe a Christmas 'truce' and offered to renounce his presidential pension

Speaking at a press conference in the Ivory Coast late on Saturday, Macron urged transport unions to suspend their strike over the holiday period out of respect “for family life" and the French people who"are sometimes apart and wish to be reunited during this festive period.”, and gave up his future lifelong membership on France's constitutional council, which every former French president is entitled to.

Previous President François Hollande also renounced this perk, but Macron is the first president to renounce his pension, according to Le Monde. An Elysée spokesperson AFP that Macron also wants to apply his proposed points system to the presidential pension in the future.

I wonder why the French people do like protesting on the streets a lot.

.... and for South Africans, till death us do part - free plane tickets, salary, medical aid, security....

‘Here’s some cake.’ 🍰

Do we in the US have entitlements like pension and cushy job stipend =$30k a month for our past presidents

Trump also wants to cut money from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP.

Power is easy when you have other sources of income.

If it were me I'd just resign and keep the pension.

Maybe he should start by not acting like a Globalist Dictator.

Striking works!

Fuck Macron.

The French better ignore everything he just said and keep on striking. Who am I kidding. It’s France — of course they’ll keep striking!

Macron IS a world leader. I wish the idiot in the Oval Office would focus on Macron more than he does Putin. 🙄
