The Christmas truce is on the alert for the executive. Back from Chad, Emmanuel Macron will take a few days to rest, just like Prime Minister Edouard Philippe. The government has been exhausted by the "yellow vests" crisis. A crisis far from over even though tensions remain high.

After more than six weekends of enamelled demonstrations of violence and despite the slowdown in mobilization the anger of the " yellow vests " is still alive. The Christmas truce does not promise to end it.

Emmanuel Macron prefers to be discreet and does not say where he will spend his holidays. And if the executive needs to blow. Ministers are asked not to go too far from Paris for the holidays. They must remain mobilizable, show that they are still on the bridge.

Preparation of the New Year's device

In particular, Christophe Castaner, the Minister of the Interior, whose teams prepare the security system of the New Year's night. In this tense context and with a heightened terrorist risk, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe was also Monday even with the security forces. With an obsession: the return to order before a busy start.

A council of ministers is scheduled for January 4, and a government seminar at the Elysee Palace on January 9. Hot issues await the government: pension reform, health insurance reform and of course the "big national debate" . While the rumble of yellow vests is still likely to spread to high school students, officials or nurses.
