Lionel Jospin: "Macron is not inscribed in history, he is the product of a moment"

INTERVIEW

After having left active politics in 2002, then being erased during his four years in the Constitutional Council, Lionel Jospin takes up the pen.

He publishes

in which he analyzes the circumstances of the election of Emmanuel Macron and the disillusionment faced with the promise of a "new world".

"Emmanuel Macron is not inscribed in history, he is the product of a moment," he explains on Europe 1. 

“If the macronism is a bit enigmatic, that's understandable. For a while there was the new world talk that was going to supplant the old world and then the disillusionment, the chimera has vanished. Now what It is striking that Emmanuel Macron is not inscribed in history, he is the product of a moment. He is also apparently not interested in the development of a collective movement. History, we think of De Gaulle, registered in the collective, we think of Mitterrand rediscovering socialism, "analyzes the former Prime Minister. 

"Basically under Macronism, we always find Macron since it is an adventure, a purely individual destiny," continues Lionel Jospin.

"This is what creates the difficulty facing France in part when it has to make choices."
