Interview of July 14: Emmanuel Macron leaves the political class hungry

2020-07-15T20:50:19.823Z


A little taken aback by the lack of concrete announcements from the president on Tuesday, even the tenors of the opposition have trouble targeting their critics.


Great political classic, the game of reactions to the intervention of the Head of State is no exception to the rule. Beyond the usual criticisms, however, dominates, even among those close to Emmanuel Macron, the feeling of remaining hungry after the July 14 interview with the President of the Republic. Anthology.

The most critical: "impotence", "inaction"

Opposition tenors fire live ammunition. Reactions expected, but encouraged by the modesty of the president's concrete announcements. “Nothing specific, no timetable! Words no longer mask powerlessness and political inaction! “Yannick Jadot, (EELV) reacted on Twitter.

Faced with the exceptional gravity of the crisis, we expected @EmmanuelMacron to take strong social measures, a stimulus plan and a powerful and immediate ecological transition ... Nothing specific, no timetable! Words no longer mask powerlessness and political inaction!

On the right, Damien Abad, president of the LR group in the Assembly, denounces “a policy of ambiguity and confusion, a desire to go beyond which makes you dizzy and a course that remains unclear. "

In this # 14July we expected a new breath and a change of course. In the end, we had neither. Nothing on the authority of the State, great fuzziness on the reforms to come, coaster on the housing tax. We cannot be at the same time right and left #Macron

As critical as disillusioned, the leader of the senators LR Bruno Retailleau lets go: "For reinvention we will iron".

The most conciliatory: "educational", "humility"

They do the job since they are in their majority. But they also avoid overdoing it. "It was a more educational interview on the meaning of action in the last part of the quinquennium," euphemized François de Rugy. The former President LREM of the Assembly has also noted that Emmanuel Macron “has projected himself into another way of doing things, drawing lessons from certain tensions. "

Spokesperson for La République en Marche, deputy Aurore Bergé underlines "the humility" that the head of state has shown, "she even acknowledges mistakes". And she considers "very important" that he places the end of his five-year term "under the sign of reconciliation".

The President has given a horizon: employment, ecology, youth will be the priorities for the coming months.
And a method: humility and social dialogue.

600 days to rebuild together.
Total determination. # Macron13h # July 14

The word humility also comes up in the words of Stanislas Guerini, CEO of LREM: “Humility and social dialogue. 600 days to rebuild together ”. Enough ?

The most ironic: "muddles" and "scratched disc"

Others have chosen cowardly humor. "It was the king of at the same time I confuse you ," sums up PS boss Olivier Faure. Everything is a sham: he says he regrets that the country is divided and he puts pension reform on the table! He was talking about war, but we're still looking for the general! "Manuel Bompard, MEP La France insoumise (LFI), laughs:" Macron speaks like a broken record. Only good news: there will only be one July 14 before the next presidential election. ” Thierry Mariani, MEP Rassemblement national (RN), squeaks at the end: "Congratulations to those who managed to hold to the end 1:15 of justification and generalities".

The most skeptical: "Difficult to see clearly"

A runaway child from the macronie, Matthieu Orphelin, co-president of the EDS group at the Assembly admits floating on Twitter: “Frankly, it's hard to see clearly. For the moment, it is difficult to be convinced that there are new perspectives for the future. "

#Macron has just invented a very new exercise: the end of quinquennium speech. A self-flagellation finger, a pitcher of self-satisfaction, two pinches of nostalgia. It is picturesque.

- Jean-Luc Mélenchon (@JLMelenchon) July 14, 2020

Hypersceptic, as you might expect, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, LFI leader, carries the blow: “Macron says he wants to rebuild in 600 days what he destroyed in 3 years. Who can believe it? "
