About Emmanuel Macron, Édouard Balladur believes that the latter has "

brilliance

" and that "

his five-year term has been fertile in trials

".

On the diplomatic level, the former Prime Minister notes, however, that “

his youth leads him to believe that his charm is enough to convince the partners

”.

According to him, Emmanuel Macron is “an opportunist, who “

commits the faults of those who do not know history

”, whether in Algeria, Rwanda or Russia.

Despite his support for his party's candidate, the former prime minister is watching the campaign cautiously.

I am careful not to give advice to candidates, I am sensitive to ridicule, I do not forget that I did not reach the second round in 1995.
