Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, in December 2019. - ISA HARSIN / SIPA

Not a left turn but an ecological turn for Emmanuel Macron. This is what Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, former boss of the PS, thinks in an interview at Point Saturday. “Emmanuel Macron does not have a left turn in mind. But he is thinking about a new Rooseveltian ecological course. This for obvious political reasons, economic liberalism is not going to be in season. He thus thinks of recapitalizing his "progressivism" dissolved in the center right ", underlines the former first secretary of the Socialist Party.

"As on the right, it is the overflow of candidates for the presidential election [of 2022] and, on the rest of the chessboard, nobody emerges, the" new Macron "hopes to rebound. But all of this somewhat underestimates an economy where entrepreneurs are primarily concerned with selling and consumers with the concern of remaining salaried, "he adds, saying that" the return of the social, and to be honest of the people , will be violent with its million more unemployed and neighborhoods where hunger lurks ”.

If Macron "is eager to embark on a new adventure around a French green deal ", Jean-Christophe Cambadélis believes that this may precipitate the end of the executive couple that the Head of State forms with his Prime Minister Edouard Philippe , from the right.

"The people no longer support the republican monarch"

The former first secretary of the PS judges that the coronavirus crisis has revealed "the bankruptcy of the Jacobin state", which has been "unforeseen" and crushed by a bureaucratization which "has reached courtline heights". "It is enough to see the mind-boggling circular of the Minister of National Education for the reopening of schools," he says, who also points to the "pointillism of the health exception law", currently under discussion in Parliament.

“I notice that the French, reputed to be poorly disciplined, respected the confinement instructions. But it is one of the flaws of our bureaucratic centralism. We always need texts that give all the power to the executive, "regrets the former boss of the PS who deduces that France is" not an adult democracy ".

According to him, "the people no longer support the republican monarch, his court and his followers" and sees in Marseille professor Didier Raoult "the new emblematic figure of the protest of the elites, of Parisianism, of the vertical state apparatuses", in sum "the health manifestation of what have already said" yellow vests "".
