Macron multiplies progressive gestures after his conservative turn. The president combines law and order measures with the inclusion of abortion in the Constitution.

He culminated last week with the proposal to legislate on dignified death. There is some progressivism in Macron's recent gestures and also liberalism in a broad sense. But there is the feeling that he is going in very different and sometimes opposite directions, writes Agnes Poirier-Lecuil, a former French foreign minister and adviser to the president.
