The singer comments on the burning political news in a new interview with the Parisian. He does not mince his words.
Back on stage with a new tour, Renaud has regained the hair of the beast and does not mince words on pension reform. “This reform is bullshit. The whole of France is against it and Macron maintains it”, he insists in the columns of the Parisian.
The singer, who is feeling better after health problems, announces that he will “perhaps write a song about him (Emmanuel Macron). I will say bad things about it with humor, as I did with Margaret Thatcher (Miss Maggiein 1989). For me, it’s the same style.”
“The political class despairs me”
And to continue: “I regret having voted for him, but facing Le Pen, I had no choice.” In 2017, he announced on Facebook vote for Macron“Since the media will soon harass me to find out who I am voting for, I will answer Macron once and for all,” he wrote, before adding: “Long live ‘En Marche’.”
In 2022, in another interview with Parisian, he confided his disappointment with Macron. “I voted for Macron a second time. But this time pinching my nose. The first time, I thought he was a left-wing, center-left, unifying man. But retirement at 65, I can’t digest it.”
Now Renaud no longer wishes to talk about politics. He announces this Sunday in The Parisian that he will not parade on May 1: “I am too old for that. I leave room for young people… And politics no longer interest me at all. The political class despairs me, I no longer even have want to criticize her.”
