65% of French people have a negative attitude towards Macron

The pension reform and the government's forced move to approve its text without a vote of MPs did not have a favorable impact on the image of French President Emmanuel Macron.

This is evidenced by the results of a poll conducted by Viavoice for Liberation, BFMTV reports.

Macron's image is negative for 65% of the French.

When the French were asked what their first emotion towards the president was, the words "misunderstanding" and "anger" came out on top (16% each). They are followed by "disgust" (13%) and "hope" (10%). Then comes "indifference" (9%).

Only 26% of the French respondents have a positive image of Macron, and 4% have a "very positive" image, which is still 2 points more than Prime Minister Elizabeth Born.

People aged 50 to 64 are the least favorable to the president's actions (70% of negative assessments), and people over 65 are the most positive (34%).

55% of the French also believe that the level of freedom in the country has decreased. The president is also considered "more authoritarian" now than in 2017 when he was first elected.
