Addressing for the first time accusations that he bent the rules for the US transport company Uber when he was economy minister, French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday acknowledged that he held discussions with company executives, and he would do it again.
"We are creating a sort of atmosphere in which seeing the heads of companies, in particular foreign ones, is a bad thing. But I acknowledge it completely," Macron told reporters on Tuesday on the sidelines of an event in southwest France.
