If there is one political figure withdrawn from the fiasco of the Champions League final at the Stade de France, it is Emmanuel Macron.

In Brussels and then Cherbourg, the president dodged questions about the organization's controversy.

A new face for the Head of State, who passed the ball back to his government.

TO ANALYSE

Emmanuel Macron while dodging.

The president was traveling to Brussels on Tuesday, then to Cherbourg, and on these occasions, he did not delay responding to the controversy over the fiasco of the organization of the Champions League final at the Stade de France on Saturday evening. .

A new face for the head of state, who preferred to sweep the subject in front of a journalist: "I will not comment on what is the responsibility of the government and what has already been instructed."

He therefore throws the ball back to his government.

This is an extremely rare situation for Emmanuel Macron.

“Pervasive president” during his first five-year term, responding to everything on everything, without worrying about what fell under his ministers, but “almost absent president” at the start of his second term.

The face of the "new president"?

Just the format of the speech in Brussels reflects the embarrassment of the tenant of the Élysée.

Traditionally, he always holds a press conference at the end of each of the European Councils, taking the time to explain the ins and outs of the discussions between Member States.

An exercise all the more privileged by Emmanuel Macron since France occupies the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union.

But on Tuesday, nothing happened.

The president spoke quickly, standing, facing a pack of cameras and microphones, just before getting into his car.

A way to leave the possibility of not answering a possible thorny question on the pretext of a busy schedule.

Emmanuel Macron promised on May 7 the day of his inauguration "a new president", we are there.
