Renaud Large is communicative. With the psychiatrist Ruben Rabinovitch, he wrote a note for the Jean-Jaurès Foundation entitled “From the black hussars of the Republic to the chronicle of the Bridgertons. Against the woke nebula and the cancel culture ”.
There is nothing more subjective than a balance sheet. Everyone will seek points of reassurance or criticism in the final report of an action, depending on their affects and inclinations. Let us remember the “globally positive assessment” of the Eastern countries of Georges Marchais. Why on earth is Emmanuel Macron presenting his results and his prospects to the French this Wednesday evening? Perhaps it is a question of delivering part of its truth about the exercise of power in troubled times. In
Panégyrique,
Guy Debord explains: “
The one who carried out such and such an action, the great consequences of which we could feel in the distance, was often almost alone to know quite important sides of it, which various reasons had prompted to keep hidden, while other aspects have since been forgotten. , simply because those times have passed (...)
”.
Yellow vests movement, economic and health management of the continuing COVID crisis, so many events that have deviated the course and the ideological approach of his five-year term and around which the President of the Republic will have to explain himself later .
Exit the economic revolution of the start-up Nation, time has passed for the reindustrialization of the country, public investment, the regal attributes of sovereignty and the struggle for purchasing power.

It is precisely on this result that the meeting fixed by the President created controversy. In unison, the oppositions cried scandal. They wish to unmask behind the speaking time of a President, that of a candidate who is still hiding. Valérie Pécresse even seized the CSA. We will go on gossiping for days on end on the accounting of speaking time. Emmanuel Macron sets a trap for his opponents to lock them up in a picrocholinic debate: to him, the action; to them, the reaction. While his opponents patiently count the minutes of intervention to know whether they should be attributed to the candidate or to the President, Macron unfolds his political story. We lend the following sentence to François Mitterrand: “
I am the last of the great presidents. After me there will be only financiers and accountants
"
.
Without doubt, the oppositions should have had the good taste to be inspired by it.
At little cost, Emmanuel Macron has the opportunity to play close to the daily life of the French, while the rest of the political class is struggling with scholastic questions.
He even takes the luxury of recording the show three days before its broadcast during prime time.

While the unions of elected officials have appointed or are finishing appointing their candidates in the primary process. The left, whose prospects of victory darken every day, tries to complete a crappy primary. The right ends a primary where heterogeneous political lines coexist, driven above all by the electoral interest. As agreed and outdated as it is, the sequence of primaries that began in September has fueled the media chronicle with a success that must be recognized. Emmanuel Macron creates the event with this show and empties the primary effect of the media scene. The political debates of the Christmas tables will now be gorged more with his intervention than with the right's chances of victory. The blow is violent for LR.The dazzling survey progress of his candidate in recent days has been undermined by the approach. But, more than a strategic catenaccio, Emmanuel Macron calls, for an evening, a primary against himself. In the balance sheet, it is the candidate of 2017 who is called upon to confront the possible candidate of 2022.

the economic revolution of the start-up Nation, time has passed for the reindustrialization of the country, public investment, the regal attributes of sovereignty and the struggle for purchasing power. What political themes will float in the air after the show? In his primary against the candidate he was, Emmanuel Macron will put his campaign topics on the agenda. He will designate, in the negative, an opponent deemed to have priority on the right. He will probably send signs to a left-wing electorate who risk being orphaned by a second round.
This outing comes a few days after his press conference on the French presidency of the European Union. Proof that the chronicle of this continental presidency is not enough to embody a story for the French elections. European issues are far removed from the political concerns of the French. The President of the Republic takes note of this fact. It is an observation of failure for the one who had made euro-bliss a marker of the mobilization of his political camp. It is also a sign that the presidential campaign of 2022 will not resemble that of 2017. During their debate between two rounds, Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen polarized a cleavage between pro and anti-European, ten-year reminiscence of the blocs antagonists of the 2005 European referendum.The European aggiornamentos of Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon qualified the opposition on the subject, noting that sovereignty had only one electoral success of esteem. On this account, the vibrato of Beethoven's ninth note resonates less loudly, without a credible Eurosceptic scarecrow. The European theme will probably not be a structuring marker of the presidential campaign of 2022. Too bad, because this cleavage will be the “return of the repressed” of the national political scene after the elections.The European theme will probably not be a structuring marker of the presidential campaign of 2022.

The program is called “Where is France going?”. It would be surprising that with such a title, the subject of the national narrative and its symbols did not arise in the discussion. Éric Zemmour mobilized in his campaign announcement clip a set of historical and cultural references to give his vision of France. Valérie Pécresse invoked the Christmas celebrations or culinary traditions such as foie gras to say, like OSS 117, what “being French” meant. What symbols will the President of the Republic invoke? The pantheonization of Josephine Baker constituted a first element of response, quite astute, moreover.Will the President of the Republic attempt transgressions in pop culture to stick to the daily life of the French? He could get out of the “museum” visions of his adversaries to mobilize the affects of “France before our eyes”. The work of Jérôme Fourquet and Jean-Laurent Cassely indeed gives some keys to reading to find the lowest symbolic common denominator of a nation that is fracturing. The barbecue with friends is undoubtedly too profane a symbol to become a “mythology” that can be appropriated by a politician in office.
