The Guardian: French president Emmanuel Macron supports UBERs lobbying drive and vows to ‘do it again tomorrow’ after leaks he told Uber executives he had brokered secret ‘deal’
Emmanuel Macron has said he was proud of supporting the US cab-hailing company Uber and would “do it again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow”, after revelations of his efforts to help the firm lobby against France’s closed-shop taxi industry.
