Lhe tour of France of the “pans” will continue. For the first week of May, Emmanuel Macron’s team has planned several more trips for him, with well-identified themes on the menu, such as vocational high schools or even attractiveness. What will the temperature of the ground be? Since the enactment of the pension reform two weeks ago, some French people do not seem to want to turn the page.
Monday, the processions of 1is– May serve as social thermometers. “A trade union last stand”hope his relatives who always bet on the medium term and cherish an ambition: visit after visit, the Head of State will manage to purge his anger and talk about the great “construction sites” to come such as health, education, ecological transition.
But “great debate” unofficial evolves by small touches and reveals the way in which Emmanuel Macron wants to circumscribe the resentment by distinguishing the most hostile opponents and the rest of France. At the start of this new sequence, in particular during his trip to Bas-Rhin on April 19, the Head of State had been « au contact » of the most mobilized demonstrators. In front of the town hall of Sélestat, his entourage revolved around the idea of a « catharsis collective » and repeated that he wanted to put himself “within range of shouting matches”.
But, little by little, the President of the Republic has put a little more distance. He now exchanges with French people who are more peaceful or surprised to see him land. Thursday, April 27, he threw himself into a surprise crowd in Dole (Jura) while his critics were framed by the police near the castle of Joux in the Doubs. His team also chooses closed places surrounded by filter dams. “I will continue everywhere”declared Mr. Macron in front of the cameras on Thursday, affirming his desire to ” explain “of ” demonstrate “. “There are people who are not happy, there are people who yell at you, that’s what interests me. You can talk and sometimes you can convince. »
“Decor installed” by others
Surreptitiously, either by the choice of places, or by the organization of the trip with moments kept secret or unexpected stops along the road, Emmanuel Macron thus put himself away from the “pans”. During his many interviews with the press, the President of the Republic explained his thinking. The Head of State says he is respectful of “all the anger” on the condition that they are done without aggressiveness and without endangering the lives of others. The macronists thus take as an example the power cut suffered by the Saint-Louis clinic in Ganges (Hérault), Thursday, April 20, during the visit of the President of the Republic. But Mr. Macron assumes not to dialogue with those who make noise or want “to cover the voice of the other with the sound of a utensil”. And he draws a de facto border between his most rash opponents and the rest of the French, as if there was a silent majority ready to support him. “I don’t have the feeling that there are millions of our compatriots on the streets today”he estimated, Tuesday, April 25, in Vendôme (Loir-et-Cher).
