Macron brings own generator to public event as unions keep shutting off power

Emmanuel Macron has resorted to bringing his own generator as he tours France to quell anger at his pension reforms, after unions cut power to a factory and college he visited last week. The fact that Mr Macron was forced to bring his own power supply to ensure he could be heard was revealed by a French broadcaster. The generator is being transported on a white truck, which was parked outside of the health centre to, in the words of the TV journalist, “avoid what happened last week”.
