From one crisis to another: behind the scenes of Emmanuel Macron’s “100 days”

For a handful of hours, on Saturday June 24, while Evgueni Prigojine marched towards Moscow with his Wagner mercenaries, Emmanuel Macron had resolved to cancel his trip to Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône). It is ultimately not this aborted rebellion that will impact his three-day visit to the Marseille city, perceived by a relative as the real moment of return to “normality” after the pension crisis. But the conflagration of the suburbs, after the death of the young Nahel, killed by a policeman in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine). The agenda, the plans of the president are hit. The results of the “100 days of appeasement and action”, decreed on April 17, too. From one crisis to another.
