Faced with geopolitical emergencies and internal tensions of the country, the Head of State assumes a “decantation phase” before the appointment of the new government and while advancing on his great reform, that of pensions.
Some will see the sudden maturity of a president now in his forties. Others an awareness of the severity of his task. Unless it is no longer prosaically of an acute sense of political tactics.
The Head of State Cuvée 2022 is no longer the hurried man of 2017. re-elected Sunday April 24 at the head of a country with which he knows himself, he takes his time. Seeks to listen and understand. And perhaps to be loved and heard. After the agitated crowd bath of Cergy-Pontoise (Val-d’Oise), Wednesday, April 27, where it was welcomed by tomato jets (cherries), it is from the Barbazan-Debat market (Hautes-Pyrénées) , Friday April 29, that the tenant of the Elysée seemed to try to stretch time by shaking his hands, listening to the grievances and by grasping congratulations.
The day after a council of ministers initially thought of as the last of his first five -year term, Emmanuel Macron corrects any misunderstandings. “Today it is necessary that this government is in charge until there is an inauguration that is made. An inauguration which is a breathing (…). I want both to be soothed and that we Prepare the rest. And, the inauguration being made, [that we] replicate with decisions, new faces, “he said. “We are in a decantation phase where we must watch in the emergency room, sometimes in geopolitical emergencies, and then prepare the sequel,” he insisted before adding to the impatient: “The sequel will come.”
Take the pulse of the territories
While Russian bombs are raining on kyiv, the geopolitical emergency is already looming. The president had to speak with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, Saturday April 30. Political policy will wait.
The Prime Minister, Jean Castex, should therefore still hold the bar for a few days, perhaps a week, if Emmanuel Macron’s inauguration stood on May 8, before giving way to one or a successor. Emmanuel Macron wants to take the time to reflect and not to suggest that the coloring of his second five -year period would have been written from Paris without taking the pulse of the territories. Exit the brutality of the beginnings, “Macron II” intends, in his words, to act with “delicacy”.
But being delicate does not exclude being mad. Emmanuel Macron observes his opponents. Also, he probably intends to leave the parties, from the Republicans to the Socialists, to get rid of, waiting for the disappointed of this left and this right in tatters to come to him. No hurry. The first round of the legislative elections is scheduled for June 12.
