Climate convention, reshuffle… Emmanuel Macron's high-risk week

• Emmanuel Macron consults in all directions to prepare for the post-crisis coronavirus and the "new stage" of his five-year term.
• The head of state, who has promised to "reinvent himself", could give some answers during a meeting with the members of the Citizen Convention for Climate on Monday.
• Imminent, a reshuffle should also settle the question of a change or not of Prime Minister.

The hour of "reinvention"? Associations of mayors, presidents of parliamentary groups and the Constitutional Council, but also Nicolas Sarkozy or François Hollande… Emmanuel Macron consults in all directions to prepare for the post-coronavirus crisis and the “new stage” of his five-year term.

In the same vein, he will receive next week the proposals of the presidents of the Senate, the Assembly and the Cese to "trace new perspectives, redefine solidarity, draw a new horizon". The head of state should say more during an address to the French, after the municipal elections on Sunday and before July 14. But the first elements could be revealed in the coming days.

An “ecological turning point” on Monday?

"The coming week will probably be a tipping week," confirms Bruno Bonnell, LREM deputy for the Rhône. We will have a clarification of the municipal landscape, with perhaps a disappointment for us and a vague EELV which is confirmed. We will also know more about the intentions of the President of the Republic, the climate, and the organizational changes within the executive.

The Elysee Palace confirmed that the Head of State would give "a first response" to the 150 members of the Citizen Climate Convention during a meeting scheduled for Monday. While a possible referendum is mentioned in the majority, the pressure is strong on the president, who was committed to taking up "without filter" their proposals. “It puts the executive in front of its responsibilities. June 29 should mark the ecological turning point of the quinquennium. Today, everything is ready for a major law to get out of this citizens' convention, ”hopes ex-LREM MP Matthieu Orphelin, now co-chair of the Ecology, Democracy and Solidarity parliamentary group.

“Their mission was a mission of advice. Their proposals should not be overlooked, but also should not be taken at face value, nuance Bruno Bonnell. They must now be analyzed and reworked by parliamentarians. "

Change of course, change of Prime Minister?

Often discussed in recent weeks, the government reshuffle could also accelerate next week. “The president has announced that he wants a strong boost for his last two five-year term. This can range from reshuffle to dissolution, "said Paris deputy Sylvain Maillard, also spokesperson for the group in the Assembly. If the reshuffle seems privileged, will the head of state go so far as to change the Prime Minister, popular in opinion polls, to embody this new path?

"Edouard Philippe is popular and successful, okay, but if Emmanuel Macron decides on another policy, and his Prime Minister cannot implement it, he will not hesitate to change it," replied Bruno Bonnell. The head of government has already warned his president: "He knows who I am, what I embody, what I can do and what I can not do," he said in Paris Normandie. .

In an itw at @ 76actu, @EPhilippePM adds a layer on his desire to return to Le Havre: “my greatest ambition is to become mayor again as quickly as possible. It can come very quickly, and if it is, so much the better. ”#Remaniement # Municipales2020 #to be better

Renewal or simple "acceleration?

Everything will therefore depend on the extent of the "renewal" promised by the president. "There have been many promises, and this, since the crisis of" yellow vests ", at the end of which Emmanuel Macron already explained that nothing would be as before. But over the months, we have the impression that we have lost the red thread, that we no longer know where Emmanuel Macron wants to go, ”recalls Bruno Cautrès, CNRS researcher at Cevipof (Sciences Po Political Research Center).

"The president will be forced to cut his cards more precisely to respond to this uncertainty. On ecology, but also on the deficits, which will widen, and on Europe, since we see that the executive is now seeking to limit posted work, while the mobility of workers is at the heart of the foundation of the European Union ".

Sylvain Maillard, for his part, is sweeping away any revolution to come: “We are not starting from a blank page, we were elected on a program for the transformation of France. Reinventing yourself means accelerating what we have put in place since 2017. ”
