“It’s a speech that the president is considering. The writing process is still in progress. Until tomorrow 11:30 a.m., we will have to wait,” an advisor to Emmanuel Macron evaded this Tuesday. On the eve of an expected speech for the 65th anniversary of the Constitution of the Fifth Republic, the Élysée wants to maintain suspense over possible announcements linked to the reform of institutions… at the risk of tiring and disappointing. This is because the subject is not new, and the head of state has already paid to see how difficult consensus was on such a subject. Twice since the start of his first five-year term, he has even broken his teeth.
