Publicity

" There is no shortage of words," notes Liberation, "to amaze us at the incredible ability of the executive to chain road trips for ten days. From the Élysée to Matignon, passing by the main ministers, there is not one to catch up with the other, as if a virus in amateurism was infecting the entire government team. She was not already dashing dashing every day in 2019. Now , point Liberation, we are frankly worried about her ... One day, Cédric Villani who tramples on presidential authority by declaring, under the windows of the Elysée, that no, he will not give up his municipal candidacy in Paris. The following day, it is the Council of State which sends Castaner back to the corner of his electoral jubilation by retoching his circular on the counting of votes in the municipal elections. (…) Muriel Pénicaud, she slipped by reducing the drama of a lifetime - the loss of a child - to a few lines in an Excel table. And when the boss, Emmanuel Macron, tries to fall back on his feet by claiming a little humanity towards the bereaved parents, the effect is almost worse, still notes Liberation: it is the lack of humanity of the macronie that it highlights the Stabilo… The effect is immediate within the majority: the group meeting, Tuesday at the Assembly, turned to the rat race. "

LREM MPs are upset

Indeed, Le Figaro also notes, “ the gap is widening between the executive and its majority. "

Le Figaro, which highlights the famous rejection of a bill bringing the holidays after the death of a child to twelve days old, an awkward rejection by the majority who finally turned around after an injunction from the Élysée Palace… This case "It does not stop creating tensions between the majority and the executive , points Le Figaro. Some Macronist deputies even rebel against the head of state. "

Indeed, analyzes the newspaper, " there is anger, injuries, misunderstanding, bitterness, bitterness, humiliation, resentment, fed up ...: the macronie went into depression. In crisis, she begins to doubt, worse, to blame her 'father', the President of the Republic in person. Attended as never before, the meeting of the LREM group yesterday served as a psychotherapy session for members of Parliament who feel, with this detestable history of leave for the death of a child, being shot in the back by the very people who send them to the fire. Burnt down by their opponents and on social networks for their 'inhumanity' and treated as 'idiots' by a (one?) Minister, that is too much for those who went to the electoral battle with gunshots and who measure today that political life is tragic, cruel, and even unfair. "

In short, concludes Le Figaro , “ We are far from the euphoria of the beginnings when the Macron label was enough to make the election. The deputies discovered since the 'constraints' of the ground and the pangs of the unpopularity by proxy. Yellow vests, pensions: they have experienced, sometimes physically, the difficulty of defending a policy that has ceased to be praised. If they do not all forget that they were elected thanks to Emmanuel Macron, many begin to fear being beaten because of him . "

Mila: victim and accuser

Also in the newspapers, the Mila case ...

“ She is a teenage girl with blue dyed hair, relates Sud-Ouest. She is threatened with death in France. Her story does not make the headlines. She became deaf. She says the confusion in which our country is plunged. Mila is a lesbian. Her fault: to respond in the same tone to the insults she was subjected to on social networks by Muslims. For the past week, she and her family have been protected, sheltered (by the police). "

So, " if this affair did not appear immediately, if the harassment which it was subjected to, the promises of rape, the calls to murder did not immediately provoke unanimous and immediate indignation, c 'is because, denounces South-West , the usual relays were silent and did not dare to speak. The reason ? The threats came from the Islamosphere. The left therefore remained silent, deplores Sud-Ouest . And she " signed her moral Munich there." (…) Because this cowardly and dogmatic left, rebels the newspaper, cannot recognize that an increasingly important part of Muslim believers wants to establish a moral order against which it would rise with all the indignation of the world, as soon as it comes from another religion. "

Le Midi Libre is not at all on the same line: " Mila, this 16-year-old teenager who, one evening of depression, found nothing else to do than insult Islam, finds herself despite it at the heart of a controversy. Threatened on social networks, exfiltrated from her high school, she is surprised that her profanity provokes so much criticism. Proud to defend 'the right to blasphemy', here she is running the TV to promote a song and boast that her 'story' has thousands of views on YouTube. Two months before the municipal elections, it naturally becomes a political issue , Le Midi Libre still points out. The Minister of the Interior puts her under police protection, the right makes it a symbol of secularism. We are however far in this story of humor from the cartoonists of Charlie to make fun of fanatics, estimates the newspaper. Mila should be explained, concludes Le Midi Libre, that, despite all his efforts, nonsense will never overcome obscurantism. "

Trump jubilant

Finally, the satisfaction of Donald Trump…

All is well for the American president who threw flowers last night during his speech on the state of the union, praising his promises " kept " and an American economy with " roaring " health. Earlier, Donald Trump mocked the " incompetence " of his Democratic opponents, whose results in the Iowa primary were delayed due to a computer problem.

" The Democrats really didn't need that ," comments L'Alsace. While Donald Trump's popularity rating is at its highest, the hiccup that marked the first meeting of the Democrats' primaries is catastrophic in terms of image (…). The week promises to be very beautiful for Donald Trump, points out the Alsatian daily. Fiasco of the democratic primary in Iowa, speech on the state of the Union in Congress and acquittal (planned), this Wednesday, in the impeachment trial that the Republicans managed to kill in the bud in the Senate in refusing to hear witnesses… In addition, there is a poll showing 49% favorable opinions and an economy that is doing well… The sky is blue for the American president.
