Between Emmanuel Macron and the French, the time of disgrace
To hope to be re-elected, during the legislative elections of June 30 and July 7, the deputies of the presidential camp no longer display the face of the head of state on their campaign posters. “People hate you”confided to him, Tuesday June 11, the Renaissance deputy of Hérault Patrick Vignal, when the president called him to find out how his decision, taken two days earlier, to dissolve the Assembly was perceived on the ground. national.
The head of state castigates the programs of his adversaries, ” the extremes “, he said, targeting the National Rally, at the gates of power, and the New Popular Front – an alliance of left-wing parties. In his eyes, they lead “to the civil war”. A strong word. Too much ? “No comment”we sigh from the campaign headquarters, rue du Rocher in Paris, where the interventions of the President of the Republic are judged to be increasingly clumsy.
Emmanuel Macron had committed to letting his Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, lead the legislative campaign on the front line. But since June 9, the president has been heard every other day. “He is a man who never despairs of convincing”we defend at the Elysée.
