“Circular, there was nothing to do.” This is the message made by the opposition in the last hours, doing Emmanuel Macron’s long interview on TF1 this Tuesday, May 13, a non -event, while this sequence marked a return of the President of the Republic to the Hexagonal scene.
The left is unanimous. “I missed anything. He said nothing, he proposed anything,” said rebel leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon in X, after his meeting in Aubenas, in Ardèche. Similar reactions for Olivier Faure and Marino Tondelier.
Pension reform and arcellingtal
“Three hours to tell the French that nothing will change,” deplores the first secretary of the Socialist Party, when the heads of the Environment judge that the president’s intervention was “a wet petardium.”
Patron of the French Communist Party, Fabien Roussel stops more particularly in the exchange that took place between head of state and Sophie Binet, general secretary of the CGT. The former northern deputy deplore that the former did not resume the proposals of the second.
Whether for the organization of a referendum on pension reform, the clues to finance its repeal or the nationalization of Arceormittal, which plans to eliminate around 600 positions in seven industrial sites in northern France, are so many measures backed on the left.
“This is the vision of the ‘Social Dialogue’ Macron Way. While interferes, France expects,” denounces Fabien Roussel.
“Generalized import”
The extreme right is not more convinced by this presidential interview. She, who, once again, demanded a referendum on immigration was not heard. Emmanuel Macron recalls that this subject does not enter “in the field of article 11” of the Constitution that defines the issues on which it is possible to consult the French by the referendum.
“This Emmanuel Macron program is like its mandate: a vain talk that no longer masks its general impotence. Not even the announcement of a great referendum has improved the interest of an unnecessary service,” therefore addresses Jordan Bardella, the president of the National Rally.
Even for Érric Ciotti, who has combined with the training of Marine Le Pen since the last legislative elections. “President Macron does not change! Jupiter remains above the ground! Despite his double electoral defeat, despite censorship, despite three prime ministers in 1 year! The same denial. The same helplessness,” hits the former head of the Les Répudicins party.
He asked for more than three hours this Tuesday, Emmanuel Macron approached many aspects of French politics, from prisons to fiscal policy, including the financing of the social model despite the fact that he has been deprived of the National Assembly since the dissolution that has confined it in recent months to its diplomatic role.
Regarding the announcement of a possible referendum, the issue of questions before his arrival at TF1, the president spoke of “a multiple consultation”, “several referendums at the same time in the coming months”, speaking of a possible question about screens and access to social networks for children under 15 years.
When asked about the end of life, after a testimony of former journalist Charles Bietry suffering from Charcot’s disease, he said he hoped that the bill in the course of the exam “was voted” in Parliament. But without excluding the French in case of a parliamentary “stuck”.
