MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French National Rally political party, welcomed on Monday recognition of mistakes in tax policy by President Emmanuel Macron, but noted that he did not intend to admit the shortcomings of his political course, and his concessions were just a strategic retreat.
On Monday evening, French President Emmanuel Macron said in a TV address to the nation that he declared a state of economic and social emergency in the country in response to the protests. He also asked the government to introduce a number of measures aimed at resolving the social and economic crisis in the country that provoked a wave of protest actions.
