PARIS One of France's richest men Francois Pinault faced a backlash on Saturday for accusing President Emmanuel Macron of"not understanding little people". "I am afraid that he is leading France towards a system that forgets the most modest,"the French billionaire and luxury goods mogul told M du Monde magazine on Friday. Macron, who has been dubbed a"president of the rich", was criticised for unveiling plans for a swimming pool at his private presidential retreat. Pinault was said to be close to ex-president Jacques Chirac, prosecuted in 2011 for embezzlement during his time as mayor of Paris. (AFP)
