In the second episode of its investigation “The president and his double”, Le Monde reveals a sentence attributed to the President of the Republic which is already arousing strong reactions on the left.
“The problem with emergencies in this country is that it’s full of Mamadous.” This sentence, shocking to say the least, is attributed to Emmanuel Macron, according to the second episode of the explosive investigation of World entitled “The president and his double”. According to the evening daily, this sentence would have come out of the presidential mouth “one day in autumn 2023”, while Emmanuel Macron, his faithful secretary general of the presidency of the French Republic Alexis Kholer, in office since the arrival of head of state at the Élysée, and a certain Aurélien Rousseau met. Then Minister of Health, Aurélien Rousseau resigned with loss and fanfare a few months later following the adoption of the controversial… bill relating to immigration precisely. He has since joined the benches of the New Popular Front in the Assembly, on the Socialist Party-Public Square side.

Comments quickly nuanced by Aurélien Rousseau: “No, this is not the hospital’s first problem.” And the Head of State added: “Yes, yes. Go ahead, you’ll see!”
