It is a paradox: if he has fueled depoliticization for five years, by his art of blurring tracks and cleavages, Emmanuel Macron continues to do politics, concentrated on equations and calculations in the Trébuchet, Behind the walls of the Elysée.
The composition of the “Borne I” government is a new demonstration. If the team’s roadmap is still very blurred, its primary objective is clear: winning the legislative elections in June, and obtaining a majority, the widest possible, at the end.
The appointment to the national education of the historian Pap Ndiaye in place of Jean-Michel Blanquer, cannot be explained otherwise, regardless of the qualities of the eminent academic, specialist in the social history of the States- United, particularly that of minorities. Basically, the two men defend two visions: one, tireless infantry of communitarianism, “wokism” and a supposed “Islamo-leftism”, carries a rigorous vision of French universalism and secularism ; The other, which studied in the United States and founded the circle of action for the promotion of diversity (CAPDIV), denounces “structural racism”, just like “an attitude of denial on police violence” in France.

Avoid a melenchonic wave

It is indeed from the united left under the aegis of the “rebellious” that this time comes the threat, while the Les Républicains Party (LR) is on the ground, when it did not swallow by Macronian Boa. After a first five -year term spent triangulating with the right, the President of the Republic – who noted that the districts had massively voted for the leader of France Insoumise in April – is now tempted to trianguller with the left.
If the appointment of Pap Ndiaye can indeed seduce the latter -Jean -Luc Mélenchon has rented a “great intellectual” -, she already electrifies the extreme right, set back since her defeat in the presidential election. Marine Le Pen immediately denounced an “assumed indigenist”, calling for “as many deputies of the national rally [RN] to protect our youth from the worst ideologies”, while Eric Zemmour criticized a “intellectual” WOKE “. By waving this red cloth in the nose of the RN and of reconquest !, Two movements obsessed with identity issues, the Head of State – who wants to avoid a melenchonist wave in the legislative elections – reactivates the confrontation with the extreme right, including Elisabeth Terminal denounced, Friday, on TF1, the criticisms “perfectly caricatured”.
