At the time of blowing out the first candle of his second five-year term, French President Emmanuel Macron reflects the image of a “monarch besieged by popular anger” and therefore “unable to generate the slightest momentum” for the next four years. , writes Le Monde.
Barely started, the 100-day sequence, which he launched on Monday April 17 to try to get out of the pension reform, arouses sarcasm and sneers, underlines the daily in a chronicle posted on its website.
The extent of the social mobilization aroused by his pension reform project, the impossibility of finding allies to vote for him without resorting to Article 49.3 of the Constitution and the persistent anger of the French, who sometimes harangue him very harshly during his travels, testify to the “deep rejection” caused by the first important decision of his second five-year term, the newspaper maintains.

The backdrop is, for its part, close to that of the dramas that took place under the mandates of Jacques Chirac: it is a question of controlling the indebtedness to put France back in the European nails, while the demand for expenditure public remains very strong, we recall.
And to add that the “hundred days” that Emmanuel Macron has given himself to revive the country are “totally devoid of the propelling force” which had presided over previous experiences: no dissolution on the horizon, because the risk Le Pen is too big; no change of prime minister either, because to date there is no obvious alternative to the laborious approach embodied by Elisabeth Borne consisting of searching text after text for majorities with variable geometry.
According to the author of the column, editorialist at Le Monde, the absence of an absolute majority in the National Assembly may well have reintroduced the seeds of the Fourth Republic into the Fifth, the persistent disintegration of LR and the PS for the moment prohibits any prospect of coalition.
In this context, the rebound, necessarily modest, can only go through the competition of the respective weaknesses. On a number of subjects such as purchasing power, health, education, housing, global warming, the French are in very strong demand for answers, we note, noting that the head of the State, whose popularity rating has fallen to historic levels, has lost the ability to train parliamentarians, local elected officials and social partners to settle them.
