Like an air of deja vu. In great political difficulty, Emmanuel Macron will try to regain control during his July 14 interview. He should try to launch his new five-year term that he is struggling to start since his re-election on April 24 and the absence of an absolute majority in the National Assembly.
“He’s really not a fitness fanatic who finds it too conventional, rarely too convincing. from BFMTV.com.
Finally begins his new term of five years
Proof that the situation is serious for the president: he only fulfilled the exercise once, in 2020, a few months after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, in particular by announcing the mandatory use of the mask in closed places.
On this occasion, the exercise aims above all to turn the page at the start of a very complicated second five-year period. Stade de France fiasco, harshly condemned by the Senate in a report released this Wednesday, Abad case, Uber files that “fully assumes”… The Elysée tenant should try to purge these issues to finally start his term.
Ukraine, inflation, employment
In the menu of this very formal 45-minute interview, Emmanuel Macron will address the situation in Ukraine but will also try to provide after-sales service to the disputed pension reform that he promised to apply “from the summer of 2023”. The issue of training and more broadly that of employment should also be on the table, as well as the increase in the budget of the armies, announced this Wednesday before the General Staff.
Another urgency on the program: to convince that his government is working to provide solutions to the portfolios of the French, hit by inflation at its highest point since 1987.
“We have stacked the devices. The idea could be to clarify things a bit and make plans for the coming months, telling citizens that we will arrive and find solutions to get through this period”, analyzes a manager from the left.
However, Bruno Le Maire, the economy minister, warned: France should “come out of the peak of inflation at the end of 2023” in an interview with Le Figaro.
Remember your motivation
The maneuver ultimately aims to convince his own camp. Some have lately complained about a president who seems withdrawn, tired and even unmotivated. What pushes Édouard Philippe to come out of the woods and launch “his strategy” for 2027.
So it’s a good time to remind yourself that the president is well on the job while he beats the troop withdrawal. Just 2 weeks after the start of the new mandate, the executive failed to convince the opposition to adopt the full version of the first text presented on Covid-19. But he also missed several dozen voices from his own camp to support the text. A real disadvantage in a narrow majority that must mobilize at all costs if it wants to hope that Emmanuel Macron’s reforms are adopted. No more questions for the president, therefore, to continue skating.
