“
Reshuffle, majority
: the executive is looking for the solution
”, tells us the front page of
Figaro
which predicts for Emmanuel Macron and Élisabeth Borne a “
studious weekend before a decisive week
”.
"
The President and the Prime Minister want to be able to quickly launch the five-year term suspended since the end of April
", estimates the newspaper.
Yes, it
's "time to choose
", confirms
Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui en France
.
“
The Prime Minister presented this Friday at the end of the afternoon to the President the results of her consultations with the political parties.
The kick-off to finally form a new government.
»
A government promised by the Head of State for the first days of July, only here: “
the more time advances, the less the calendar becomes precise
”, underlines
Le Parisien
.
But it is in any case "
a tightrope walker's exercise
", continues
Le Figaro
, because it must "
take into account parity and new balances in the National Assembly
".
The Prime Minister, precisely, "
must widen her majority at the Palais Bourbon
", so
Le Figaro
wonders: "
will she be in a position to submit to a vote of confidence at the end of her declaration of general policy, which will be pronounced on Wednesday in the two Chambers
?
“It is in any case”
the wish of the opposition and of 66
% of the French
“also, according to an Odoxa Backbone poll carried out for the daily.
French people dissatisfied with the situation in the Assembly
French people who are "
at the end of their democratic rope
", says
Liberation
.
“
According to a Viavoice survey, the elections are far from having eased social and political tensions in the country.
“For more than half of those questioned, 53% precisely, the legislative elections left “
bitterness
”, even “
dissatisfaction
”.
55% are downright “
worried
”.
However, still in
Libé
, the platform of a professor of public law welcomes a little further this pluralism, shall we say, within the hemicycle.
He would sign "
the return of democratic deliberation
": "
A president of the Assembly En Marche
,
a first socialist vice-president, a vice-president La France insoumise, two National Rally, a Horizons, a quaestor Les Républicains, a president Finance Committee Insoumis… Beyond the hubbub of politicians, long live the relative majority and long live the Fifth Republic
!
exclaims this professor of public law.
According to him, this is the way to put an end to President Jupiter, because the "
democratic tragedy
» would be the absolute majority constructed by the president, to which the deputies had hitherto been subordinate, and not the other way around.
The entrenched far right
An Assembly in which the far right is now well anchored.
It is
Le Monde
which returns this morning to "
this crazy week
" where the RN was "
notabilized
", was "
institutionalized
".
Ten days after the legislative elections, far-right deputies "
managed to find a place for themselves at the Palais Bourbon, with the help of the presidential coalition and the right
", analyzes
Le Monde
.
It highlights a scene "
revealing the new ambitions
" of the party.
It was Thursday when Yaël Braun-Pivet, the new President of the Assembly, unveiled to the ten representatives of the parliamentary groups the plan for the location of the seats in the hemicycle.
"
I don't want to be placed on the far right
," said Marine Le Pen, refusing that her party, now 89 strong, sit "
as usual
" to the right of the right, to the right of the LRs, rather suggesting a more central placement, to the left of the LRs.
The president refused, but for a week "
everything is a matter of symbols and statutes at the Palais Bourbon
", concludes
Le Monde
.
The drama in the dark rooms
Le
Parisien
also returns to another drama this
morning
. is not at the party
, ”laments
Le Parisien
.
“
Theatrical attendance is down 30
% compared to 2019
”, in particular due to: “
the high price of the ticket, the lack of interest in the films offered, and the competition from the platforms
” obviously...
However, if “
some American films are a hit, many French productions flop
”, underlines
Le Parisien
.
He invites us to reflect: “
What is the last French feature film that stuck, transported, upset
you?
Search well, but not easy
, ”replies the daily.
And that is the whole problem according to him, "
we go to the cinema less, and above all we have less desire to go to the cinema
".
But all is not lost, he tells us, right now he invites us, for example, to go and see “
Cut
!
», a delirious comedy for the general public by Michel Hazanavicius, on the set of a zombie film... «
This is the best we have seen since the beginning of the year
, ”said
Le Parisien
