The press conference lasted more than two hours. This Tuesday, the President of the Republic spoke at length to the press, only a few days after the appointment of Gabriel Attal as Prime Minister. An interview during which the Head of State made numerous announcements on numerous subjects, with the leitmotif: “that France remains France”.
A milestone that is still awaited
Questioned this Thursday morning, the president of the Republicans in the National Assembly, Olivier Marleix, remains perplexed by the exercise. “We were told that the President of the Republic was going to set a course. I heard everything except a course,” he regrets on the set of Europe 1-CNews.
“Above all, I saw a president who went in all directions, who drowned himself in details, who was in a way minister of everything, president of nothing,” he continues at Sonia Mabrouk’s microphone. “The problem of the President of the Republic is not the words, it is the facts, it is the actions. They are not there. He even addressed problems that he himself created” , exclaims the LR deputy for Eure-et-Loir. During the conference, Emmanuel Macron focused at length on the situation of the French middle classes, an electorate particularly coveted by the parties.
“The president no longer has a project”
An attention that Olivier Marleix considers hypocritical. “Not long ago, we removed the tax credits which benefited all French people who work, on energy renovation. Instead, we put MaPrimeRénov’ (a system adopted during the first five-year term of Emmanuel Macron editor’s note), with much stricter resource conditions, excluding de facto part of the middle classes”, he gets annoyed.
“Now, we will judge on the actions. You know, this government is in communication. What I had the day before yesterday while listening to this intervention was really the feeling that this five-year term was over, that it “There was no longer a project. The president no longer has a project,” he concludes.
