Emmanuel Macron will spend the whole day in Charente and will not leave until the early evening.
The morning will be devoted to the economy. In front of nearly 100 Charentais business leaders, the President of the Republic will lay the foundation stone at SAFT’s electric battery manufacturing plant at Nersac at 10:30 a.m. He will present this Franco-German project, dubbed “Battery Airbus”, will give his vision of a European electrical industry, intended to compete with China and the United States.
From noon, direction Angoulême. On the forecourt of the town hall, he will open, alongside Xavier Bonnefont, the Angoulême comics festival and will launch the year of comics in France. Emmanuel Macron, accompanied by Franck Riester, Minister of Culture, and Jean-Michel Blanquer, Minister of Education, is expected to make announcements to comic book authors who have planned to demonstrate on Friday to denounce the precariousness of their profession.
In the afternoon, he will wander to the festival and should make a stop by the international city of comics. At the end of the afternoon, he will attend the theater at a concert given by Angoumois middle school students.
Significant safety measures are taken to prevent overflow. Many streets of Angoulême, and public spaces, will be completely closed to unaccredited persons.
Several events are planned. That of anti-wind turbines in Nersac and that of those opposed to the pension reform.
