One thing is certain, Emmanuel Macron will not throw his new Prime Minister, this Saturday, into the media trap of the reopening of Notre-Dame. He will undoubtedly wait until Monday, or even Tuesday, to appoint Michel Barnier's successor. By inviting himself into the time of the cathedrals, the President of the Republic, still master of the clocks, hopes to make this global event an enchanted parenthesis, certainly shorter than the Olympic Games, but where we would indicate to the eyes of the world that France always blazes. Let's say that, for the moment, it is not flaring. Which is already not so bad in the wake of resounding censorship and a presidential speech closer to denial of reality than accountability. This day after the storm, when the austere regime of current affairs applies, marks a false political lull.
It was punctuated by consultations and asides, polite expressions and bitter reactions. While Europe agreed behind the backs of the French with the Mercosur countries on a destabilizing free trade agreement, the representatives of the political parties were still settling their scores.
“The right will not be able to compromise with the left”
On the right, Bruno Retailleau, who would like to extend his lease at the Ministry of the Interior, shoots the other side of the hemicycle. “The right will not be able to compromise with the left. This part of the left which made a pact with the Rebels, refused to denounce the crazy excesses of the Mélenchonists after October 7 and voted for an irresponsible motion of censure. In the interest of the country, the right can agree to make compromises, certainly not compromises“, he scathes on X. The position could isolate him within the Republicans. During a meeting Thursday evening, the LR deputies chose not to “automatically censor“a government extended to the PS, on condition that it does not accept rebels. A sign of openness?
