Since Wednesday, May 4, the Elysée broadcasts a series of videos retracing some significant events from the previous five -year event of Emmanuel Macron on YouTube. The Head of State appears to be launched at full speed in his desire to “transform” French society. “I have the countryside in my legs. There is no transition,” he breathes, with a smile, to Jean-Claude Mailly, then secretary general of Force Ouvrière, proud to carry out reforms “in a record time “. A striking contrast compared to the first days of his new mandate, which is for the time being motionless, just under two weeks after her victory against Marine Le Pen.

In the same way, the calendar is not fixed for the text in favor of the purchasing power that Emmanuel Macron had projected before the ballot. Arguing “state continuity”, Gabriel Attal assured on Wednesday that “this government is responsible for anticipating and preparing work on the commitments that were made by the President of the Republic”. But the upcoming ministerial changes, which could be accompanied by rediscovery of administrations, put the scope of this work.
