The French Le Monde daily newspaper has previously leaked the leaked documents accusing Mr. Macron a secret agreement with Uber when he was a French Economic Minister for the period of 2014 - 2016, under President Francois Hollande.

After the information was published by the media, the French President was criticized by his opponents, accusing him not only a supporter but also an almost Uber partner, a US -based company.

We are creating an atmosphere where business owners, especially foreigners, like something bad, Mr. Macron said.

Le Monde previously said that some Macron's meetings with the Uber CEO were not recorded in the official work diary and took place without other government members at that time.

However, the French president said he met the official representative of Uber, and emphasized that he was proud of this action.

Mr. Macron, a former investment bank manager, has long had a public opinion to support Uber, although the company stumbled many objections from taxi drivers and criticized from the cabinet members.

Guardian and Le Monde on July 10 said they earned more than 124,000 documents leaked from 2013 to 2017, when Uber was run by co -founder Travis Kalanick.

The document shows that Kalanick has tried to bring a car calling service to cities around the world, despite it violating the law and the taxi regulations.

Leaked records containing messages between Kalanick and Mr. Macron, who secretly helped the company in France when he was an economic minister.

In a response statement about the leak, Uber acknowledged mistakes, but said they had been converted since 2017 under the leadership of the current executive director Dara Khosrowshaahi.

To lose shock in the National Assembly, the Party of President Macron will have to set up the Government of the Union, or negotiate each bill or organize a new election with many risks.

Defeating the right opponent for re -election, President Macron is expected to face many difficulties in the effort to unite France is dividing.
