Guillaume Tabard: "Philippe the methodical, and Edouard the fatalist"

Making his televised reappearance on Easter evening on France 2 does not make Édouard Philippe a believer -

"I do not have faith"

, he confesses in

Le Point

.

Yet one would believe his political strategy inspired by Saint Ignatius of Loyola.

"Act as if everything depends on you, pray knowing that everything depends on God"

, advised the founder of the Jesuits.
