Every morning, Michael Darmon evokes a specific subject of political life.
Hello Michael, you have of course followed the press conference of Emmanuel Macron, can we say that a new act is posed for the quinquennium?
In the chapter of the great Elyos tirades in press conferences we had the famous: "The boxes are empty" and "Carla is serious" Nicolas Sarkozy. Then, "The company is the heart of growth", "Valérie rests" François Hollande. Here is the "I learned" from Emmanuel Macron. So what did he learn? Politics are codes to respect the form. Yesterday, President Macron learned mainly from Pompidou, even de Gaulle with the table with tricolor colors. An ideal setting to announce the need to turn the page of public policies created by these leaders after the war in the last century.
"He who wanted to embody the new world, he seeks protection under the auspices of traditional politics"
The head of state has learned from elected officials, "I believe in mayors," he said. At the end of his two-month tour to the mayors of France, he wants to forget the candidate who said that the electoral stages were old courses, a little tacky and "old world". Talking about tricolor scarves, it taught him a manual to answer the "yellow vests": he now recognizes the existence of a legitimate and powerfully supported movement. Finally, Emmanuel Macron wanted to show that he had learned one in his presidential practice. "I will not do everything in the place of the government," he said. More placated with the journalists of which he qualified the role of intermediary with this delicious word: the "truchement".
"Welcome to politics Mr. Macron"
He wanted to embody the new world, he seeks protection under the auspices of traditional politics.
Yes, but he also says, "I do not change course." How is it compatible?
And that's the real risk taking for Emmanuel Macron. It chooses not to answer all the demands, in particular those of the "yellow vests" on the referendums of citizen initiative, the white vote and the ISF. By saying neither stubbornness nor denial, the President of the Republic has clearly chosen to reinforce the electoral base of his first round in the presidential election. It must be stressed that tax reforms and social measures on pensions are proposals, or even fighting led the left wing of the majority.
Education and health at the heart of the project are signals sent to Marconist voters from the left. And the proportional delight MoDem partners. Above all, it should be known that it is a stage of an agenda that will take place until the summer: European ministerial reshuffle requested by some officials of LREM while the reshuffle at the Elysee is still under construction, and speech at convention in July in front of both chambers.
And when Emmanuel Macron says "I do not care about the next election I want furiously succeed this mandate," he forgets that the subconscious does not know the negation, according to specialists. And on this subject, re-election, there is a principle to know by heart: Always think about it, never talk about it. So welcome to politics Mr. Macron.
