From October 6th, 2018

 

French President Emmanuel Macron has urged citizens to complain less, telling pensioners: "We don't realise how lucky we are".

 

The nation would be better off if they followed wartime Charles de Gaulle's example, the president told a woman worried about cuts to her pension on Thursday.

 

Mr Macron said he had learnt from Mr de Gaulle's grandson that the wartime leader lived by the principle: "You may speak very freely but the one thing you have no right to do is complain."

 

According to local media, he is then said to have told the pensioner: "I think the general had a good rule of thumb there.

 

"The country would be in a different place if it was like that. We don't realise how immensely lucky we are."
