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.
