Manuel Ferrara, a French porn actor, criticized Macron's hostile attitude to the porn industry in a Twitter post and challenged the president to talk about the issue face to face.
"I am in the business that you are trying to demonize by making this kind of remark. I am ready to sit down with you and discuss a topic that you know nothing about. I'm waiting for your call!" Ferrara wrote.
je suis dans ce business que vous essayez de diaboliser en faisant ce genre de remarque. Je suis prêt à m’asseoir avec vous et discuter d’un sujet qu’à priori vous ne connaissez pas. J’attends votre appel!

Ferrara also urged the president to talk to women working in the pornography industry to ask their opinion on the issue, stressing that adult films serve as entertainment.

Among measures suggested by the president were an awareness campaign on pornography in schools and a bill against sexual violence.
