As pension protests rage, President Macron of France is caught taking off luxury watch in interview -
are two reforms Mr. Macron passed without a parliamentary vote: the raising of the minimum retirement age by two years from 62 to 64, and the planned increase of the amount of time served needed to receive a full pension from 41 years to 43 years.compiled on Twitter show Mr. Macron with and without his customized Bell & Ross BR V1-92 watch, which can cost over $3,500 without customization. Some on social media had claimed the watch cost over $80,000.
The watch can be heard striking the table, and Mr. Macron’s team contends the timepiece was removed so as to stop the sound. Mr. Macron’s political opponents immediately picked up on the symbolism of the failed sleight-of-hand, particularly the left-wing La France Insoumise party. Quote-tweeting a video of Mr. Macron removing the watch, La France Insoumise parliamentarian Farida Amrani wrote “The president of the rich has never lived up to his name so well.”Au même moment, le Président cache sa montre dont le prix est bien supérieur au salaire mensuel d’un smicard
