“We have to move quickly”: under pressure, Emmanuel Macron prepares for the post-Barnier era
For its grand reopening on Saturday, will Notre-Dame de Paris see a deconstructed government in its reconstructed nave? Michel Barnier and his team should normally attend the ceremony, during which Emmanuel Macron will speak on the square. But if Marine Le Pen's National Rally mixes its voices with those of the left this Wednesday to adopt a motion of censure against the government, the head of state could appear at Notre-Dame with a resigned government. And the staging of his successful bet, that of rebuilding the cathedral five years after the fire which devastated it, will be spoiled by a pile of political ashes.
To avoid this image, many people close to Emmanuel Macron are urging him to move quickly. Some have even pleaded, in recent hours, for him to shorten his state visit to Saudi Arabia, which should normally end at the end of the day on Wednesday, after a trip to an archaeological site. History of being there when the Barnier government should fall, and of bouncing back quickly. Because institutionally, “ the rest is up to the president », as the head of the centrist group in the Senate, Hervé Marseille, recalls.
