"I was wrong". In recent weeks they have multiplied my fault Of Emmanuel Macron. I am Gone are the days when he could enjoy the majority of consensus among the population. Now the French president is collapsing in the polls.
Only the 27% of the population – data worse even than those of François Hollande – appreciates his work. And we are only on the domestic front. First the investigation into Alexandre Benalla, then an almost infinite series of infinite exits which increasingly established his distance from the voters.
In foreign policy, Perhaps, the situation is even worse. The rise of Donald Trump ha, in fact, marked a rift in relations with the United States. But not only that. In Europa, like it or not, populist movements are growing – just think of Italy, Hungary, France and Germany – to the detriment of traditional ones. And these new balances, by force of circumstances, they are going to undermine the role of Paris in the Old Continent.
But who is Emmanuel Macron? It really is, as he said during the election campaign, the man who knew how to erase the old political guard in favor of a new world? Just quickly read his biography to realize a truth that is as simple as it is too little highlighted: the French president of France was the candidate of the elites.
He graduated in philosophy in 2004, starts working as a finance inspector and, four years later, begins working for the Rothschild investment bank & Co. He works as Hollande's advisor, and then cover, In the 2014, the position of Minister of Economy, of Industry and Digital in the second government of Manuel Valls. Two years later, shortly before the elections, he smells the air and understands that something is changing. That the French are tired of the old politics and that, Therefore, it's better to disengage. So it will be. In the elections of 2017 there will be a real collapse for the socialists and republicans.
In the meantime Macron had founded his own party – EnMarche! – who will get full marks, beating the National Front candidate Marine Le Pen. But the French president would most likely never have been able to win if he had not been supported by Jacques Attali, well-known pro-European economist and essayist. A man close to both the socialist François Mitterrand and the republican Nicolas Sarkozy. A, In short, who knows how to move within the folds of power. Even when this changes.
In an interview with Courier, Attali himself explained that Macron had been supported by “pro-Europe France, "modern France". And he explained this concept like this: “Very simply, the part of the country convinced that things can be better tomorrow, that the future can and must be better than the past. Marine Le Pen's voters hope for a return to an era that no longer exists, and that he will never be able to return. The interconnected world is an irreversible reality. Macron can help govern it and not suffer it".
And what about the president's agenda, Attali explained: “He hit on the areas where we need to intervene to relaunch France. Or the school, especially the maternal one, and then the measures to train and put the too many unemployed people who still exist in France back into the world of work. A combination of protection and emphasis on individual responsibilities. His benefit for the unemployed is not welfare, it's serious training to make them able to find a place. And then the idea of focusing on Europe starting from common defense, which is a project now ready to be launched, despite the disaster represented by Brexit”.
The problem is that all these promises have not been kept. Especially those on safety. They toured the world statements of the former Interior Minister Gérard Collomb While, resigned, left the Elysée: “I went to all these neighborhoods – to Marseille, in Toulouse, Aulnay, Sevran - and the situation is very degraded and the term 'republican reconquest' makes sense here because in these neighborhoods today the law of the strongest applies, that of drug traffickers and radical Islamists, who took the place of the Republic"
As we wrote yesterday above The Eyes of War, Macron is increasingly distant from the real country. From those workers who, seeing in him an alternative to the old party system, he tried to trust. But now he was disappointed. Yes, because the president has always managed to portray himself as a political outsider. Writes in this regard Courier: “President Macron, stranger to parties and neophyte in politics, he got elected partly thanks to this revolt against the elite but now that he is at the Elysée he is perceived - due to his ways and policies - as a new aristocrat, away from the problems of ordinary people".
The problem is that it was a sensational bluff. Macron has always been a man of the elite. But he was able to tell another reality to convince voters. A reality that collapsed under the scandals that hit the Elysée, street protests and a continuing sense of insecurity on the part of the French.
