For the first time since the long weeks during which the tension had soared around the pension reform, Emmanuel Macron broke the silence . But has he spoken? Talked about a phase II of its second five-year term, talked about a really different method of conducting the affairs of the country, talked about a profound overhaul of governmental life? Admittedly, the Head of State has promised fewer laws and shorter legislative texts, but the magic card of the Great Debate or the trick of the National Council for Refoundation having already been used, he was unable to reveal anything that would renovate the political life. Admittedly, he reached out to the unions, asking them to “reengage”, but without being able to prevent himself from provoking the leader of the CFDT. Certainly,he reaffirmed his confidence in Elisabeth Borne , but with hesitations in his voice which suggested that this was more of a trial period than a firm lease. Admittedly, he gave a mandate to the Prime Minister “to widen as much as she can” the presidential majority, but without defining the new point of balance or renouncing to draw from right and left additional votes to his majority. quite relative.
We will therefore have to wait a few more weeks (a few months?) before being able to measure what Emmanuel Macron really has in mind for his four years in office. This is actually not very surprising: reacting on the spot is not his forte, and having his conduct dictated by events is the fear of any ruler. But since the communication society demanded that he express himself without delay, he had to expose himself in order, at the very least, to defend his positions, confirm the reform and put on his side those of the French who are alarmed by street violence and blocking the strikers . It is now this silent and worried people its best ally.
