A "puffy speech of self-satisfaction", the opposition curries Macron

A “self-satisfaction exercise” in twenty minutes. While announcing an acceleration of the deconfinement, Emmanuel Macron praised Sunday for the management of the coronavirus crisis in France, of which according to him "we can be proud", a satisfaction which made the opposition jump, at two weeks municipal.

After having quickly decreed the passage of all of metropolitan France in the green zone and the reopening of bars and restaurants in Ile-de-France, the Head of State returned at length during his speech on "a first act" including the French will be able to "turn the page", and yet marked from start to finish by a general distrust of the actions of the executive.

The president punctuated his speech with eminently positive sentences: “We need not be ashamed of our record. Tens of thousands of lives have been saved by our choices, by our actions. "" If we can reopen the country, it is because at each stage of the epidemic everyone has played their part. "" We [have] a spring, a resource. We can be proud of what has been done and of our country. ”

A speech "inflated with helium, already above ground"

Very rebounded, oppositions of all stripes immediately criticized an "exercise in self-satisfaction". “A surrealist start, E. Macron is happy with the management of the crisis. He forgets that our country will have a very high mortality per million inhabitants and one of the most violent economic recessions in the world, "reacted the boss of the senators LR Bruno Retailleau.

Debut surreal, E Macron is happy with the management of the crisis. He forgets that our country will have a very high mortality per million inhabitants and one of the most violent economic recessions in the world with the added bonus of the rule of law put on hold ...

Still on the right, the deputy LR Olivier Marleix pinned a speech "inflated with helium, already above ground, passing in silence the dead of the Covid-19 and the explosion of unemployment", estimating that for the first time "a pilot, after having crashed an airplane, has the opportunity to invite passengers to re-embark ”.

Inflated with helium, already above ground, ignoring the deaths of the Covid-19 and the explosion of unemployment. Historical intervention anyway: it is the first time that a pilot, after having crashed an airplane, on the occasion of inviting passengers to re-embark ...

Also on the left, the Head of State made his teeth cringe, especially those of the First Secretary of the PS Olivier Faure. "Tonight what we wanted to hear was not to tell us" I was great "for the past, but to tell us how we engage the French on the road to rapid recovery", he attacked.

#Macron had to “reinvent itself”, it's a failure. We do not want a President who looks in the mirror but who looks to the future. Where's the expected rebound plan? Responses to youth? The mutations underway? You can't be late for a crisis every time!

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the Insoumis, has denounced a "rain of truisms, stolen words and clichés" and a "sticky gossip", believing that the head of state "drunk", during that LFI MP Alexis Corbière castigated a "puffy speech of self-satisfaction".

Rain of truisms, stolen words and clichés. #Macron drunk. And he announces that he will tell us the rest in July. A talkative soap opera continues. # Macron20H

"This self-satisfaction creates a distance between the French and him," said Jean-Christophe Lagarde, president of the UDI, in contrast to the "we" proposed by Emmanuel Macron on Sunday evening.
