The opposition is not convinced and criticism is already coming. Inflation, ecological transition, emigration, international… Emmanuel Macron multiplied the announcements, during the interview of more than 30 minutes broadcast on the 20 Hours of TF1 and France 2 on Sunday evening, banking, as usual, on “at the same time time “.
Far from being enough to convince Nupes, several elected officials of whom have already expressed their dissatisfaction. For EELV MP Sandrine Rousseau, this half-hour of discussion was just “talk”. LFI elected official Éric Coquerel judged that the head of state had “confirmed his title as champion of bullshit”, confusing in particular “ecological planning” and “ecological communication”.
Apart from confirming his title of bullshit champion, what was the point of Emmanuel Macron’s intervention this evening?
Let us nevertheless reestablish some truths:
No, Europe is not the continent that does the most in welcoming migrants.
No, France does not “take its share”, given…— Eric Coquerel (@ericcoquerel) September 24, 2023
He also wanted to correct a few sentences from the head of state, particularly regarding immigration. “No, Europe is not the continent that does the most in welcoming migrants,” assured the MP on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
“An interview to say nothing”
This same theme also triggered the anger of his colleague from the same party Thomas Portes, for whom the argument put forward by Emmanuel Macron, according to which “we cannot accommodate all the misery in the world” – a paraphrase of a quote from the former socialist Prime Minister Michel Rocard – is “an absolute disgrace”. For the elected official from Seine-Saint-Denis, these are “the same words as the extreme right. The same words as the racists.”
“We are not going to welcome all the misery in the world.” This sentence of@EmmanuelMacron is an absolute disgrace. The same words as the far right. The same words as the racists. While people die in the Mediterranean, the number of millionaires explodes in France #Macron20h

For his part, the elected environmentalist Julien Bayou judged that Emmanuel Macron’s speech only served “to try to hide the poor performance of his troops in the senatorial elections”, which took place on Sunday. “An interview to say nothing,” he summarized on X.
