On Sunday, the highly influential Parisien newspaper reported that ‘after eight days of silence, the head of state’ has told supporters ‘he will speak on Monday night on television to respond to the angry French.’

Macron will not appear ’empty handed’ but will instead make further concessions in regards to tax, it added…

‘There are too many taxes, too many taxes, too much taxation in this country,’ Macron told MPs in a private meeting on Friday, the Parisien reports.

Macron’s ‘mea culpa’ included him admitting that he appeared too arrogant and out-of-touch, and he will address such concerns on a national TV channel.
