his well-felt spade to a political figure in his entourage

A necessary clarification. The leaders’ dinner, organized by Emmanuel Macron on September 28, was the subject of much debate. And for good reason: this gathering, in which Edouard Philippe and Francois Bayrou, made it possible to discuss pension reform. Because, yes, a few days earlier, the president of the MoDem, who feared a “forced passage” Bill, sent a warning to the Head of State. Results ? Emmanuel Macron took advantage of the dinner to remind the mayor of Pau of his status as President of the Republicreported the chained duck.

“I know some who were presidential candidates and who were not elected; I was elected twice, and I was also elected to carry out the pension reform“, would have struck Emmanuel Macron, frustrated by the remark of one of his most loyal supporters. Of course, this spade was directly addressed to François Bayrou, who, at the table, was the only one to have already presented himself in the presidential election. Indeed, the High Commissioner for Planning was a candidate three times, in 2002, 2007 and 2012, but never managed to make it to the second round.

Emmanuel Macron and François Bayrou: an altered relationship?

Despite the spades exchanged between Emmanuel Macron and François Bayrou, the relationship between the two politicians seems to be fixed. Proof of this is the trip of the head of state to Pau, land of the president of the MoDem, on September 30th. Yes, the two acolytes were very accomplices in front of the cameras and the mayor of the city took the opportunity to confide that there was “never had a falling out” nor even of “angry” between them. Once again, the famous adage “who loves well punishes well” seems to be confirmed.
