“He has to make strong announcements. He has to move forward because since the start of the school year, he has only slowed down”, confided a Macronist deputy to La Dépêche a few days ago.
On Wednesday October 26, at 8:30 p.m., the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron will be back on the set of L’Évènement, the political program of France 2, two weeks after a first intervention, centered on international issues.
This evening, the Head of State should tackle other subjects, which have caused a lot of ink to flow since the start of the school year… and which concern the French as closely as possible.
With the start of his second term marked by several major crises, Emmanuel Macron wants to reassure, while his popularity rating continues to decline. This speech should also be an opportunity for the president to assert his political authority, while the government has had a series of disappointments in the Assembly, for lack of a majority.
Above all, it will be necessary to convince about the next reforms: apart from adopting budgetary texts, the executive will only be able to activate article 49.3 once until June 2023.
However, many bills are on the table, and some are widely divided.
Pensions, unemployment insurance, nuclear and renewable energies, reform of high schools and hospital crisis… “The risk is to give the impression of dispersing a lot and, on arrival, of lacking readability”, breathes someone close to the government in Le Parisien.
“Between the ultra-technocratic construction sites and the turtleneck, one has the impression that there is nothing, no political project to mobilize the nation”, in turn mocks a “government figure” on the side of franceinfo.
Will the president provide all the answers to the questions that torment the Nation? Final answer tonight, from 8:30 p.m. In the meantime, discover in our slideshow the 7 announcements that Emmanuel Macron should not fail to make.
