“Macron resignation”. We remember this slogan launched by the Yellow Vests. It was at the crossroads of 2018 and 2019. A lifetime ago. At the time, arrogant Macronism reigned supreme over the country, the Assembly was under orders and Castaner blocked the “factious” with the severity that we know. The jacquerie ended badly, like all jacqueries in France. Six years later, “Macron resignation” is no longer a slogan hastily plastered on a roundabout in “our territories” but a possibility considered very seriously, including in the “camp of reason”. Marc Baudriller mentioned it here last week. Last political leader, apart from Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his fun club, to seriously consider this option: Hervé Morin, president of the Normandy regional council, former Minister of Defense under Nicolas Sarkozy and president of the Centrists party. In short, the man is not particularly a factionist, a populist, an extremist. This Tuesday, December 3, on LCI, he didn’t beat around the bush: “ Since the country did not want to give a majority to Emmanuel Macron's party, since the National Assembly did not give its confidence to the government he appointed, the president must resign ».
Until a few months ago, such a statement could only come from the “populist” camp, not to say “conspiracy”! Florian Philippot or Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, when the National Rally has always avoided it, have they not been demanding, for a long time, not the resignation, but the dismissal of Emmanuel Macron? Already in 2021, during his wishes to the press, in the midst of the Covid crisis, the one who was still a deputy for Essonne believed that the dismissal of the head of state was a question that arose. “ Will it have to come to this, so that he is accountable to the nation, so that he stops destroying our democracy, so that he stops doing harm? », declared on Europe 1 the president of Debout la France. “ At some point, when orders are stupid and ineffective, the people rebel “, he added. In April 2023, Dupont-Aignan did it again at the microphone of Sonia Mabrouk: “ France is too fragile to continue to have so much inequality, so much injustice, so much financial waste, we must take a break and start again on a healthy basis, otherwise we will not be able to last four years. I would initiate the dismissal of this dangerous man “. A year later came the European elections and the dissolution, culminating in today's chaos. Impeachment? The LFI deputies failed miserably last October in what could be described as a communications enterprise doomed to failure.
Restore confidence
But resignation? After the very serious Charles de Courson, the very Macron-compatible Jean-François Copé, it is now an incontestable centrist who voted for Macron in April 2022 because according to him, “ there is no[vait] no other choice “. And what does the elected Norman say today? Not “maybe yes, maybe no”! No. “ The only objective of everyone is to concentrate the political crisis so that the political crisis leads to the conclusion which seems obvious, which is that one day or another Emmanuel Macron will have to draw from it completely the consequences and that he resigns… » And Morin, who presides over a region whose primary competence consists of supporting economic development, recalls that “ the principle of economics is trust »… To restore confidence in the economic world, we must at least clarify the situation at the top of the State. Quite the opposite of what the Macronists say, led by Gabriel Attal who, on Tuesday, hammered home the theme of “ stability » necessary for our country. Firefighter-arsonist: a booming profession.
Crime of lese majeste
So, of course, the last square of the defenders of the madman of the Élysée are raising their voices and screaming about the crime of lèse-majesté. Thus, the deputy Mathieu Lefèvre believes that the resignation of Emmanuel Macron “ is totally unthinkable “. Unthinkable? Well yes, since some people think about it! An idea which, according to him, would be “ harmful to the size of the country “. Downright. It is true that the African tour of Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister of Foreign Affairs, last week, gave us a beautiful image of the greatness of France under the presidency of Emmanuel Macron. We can also understand that it is above all “totally unthinkable” in the head of Emmanuel Macron. And this is perhaps where it is the most serious.
Unthinkable? History shows us that what was unthinkable at a given moment becomes reality and that, sometimes, reality can go far beyond what we could have imagined or thought. An example? The events that took place in May 1958…
