French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday said he was prepared to accept unpopularity as a consequence of imposing a controversial pensions reform that has sparked uproar and mass protests. Macron, in an interview with the TF1 and France 2 TV channels, said his government will aim to bring France back to normal "as soon as possible," speaking two days after his government barely survived a no-confidence vote. For more, FRANCE 24 is joined by Yves Sintomer, Professor of Political Science, University of Paris VIII and Member of the UMR Paris Centre of Political and Sociological Research (CRESPPA, CNRS/Université Paris Lumières).
