One of the questions before this general policy speech concerned the attitude of the PS, under pressure from other left-wing parties, more inclined to censorship.
“This speech,” underlines Manon Meunier, a rebellious MP, “shows that there is nothing to negotiate, when Emmanuel Macron is in the equation. The democratic blockage is too deep. All we will have gained is a flash mission on pensions…”.
It will be entrusted to the Court of Auditors. “Luckily it’s not McKynsey,” laughs Damien Maudet. “We are forced to censor,” he adds.
At the PS, elected officials, including Stéphane Delautrette, hoped for “a suspension” and on TF1 news, Olivier Faure left the possibility of censorship hovering.
