Xavier Yvon: I know that you adore as much as I do slipping discreetly into the meetings of the Political Department of L’Express. You may have missed our journalists because the last time I took my microphone there was in April. That day, we had listened to them take stock of the long “pension reform sequence”.
Since then, I have asked them – very often I must admit – when I will be able to introduce you to these fascinating discussions again. I quote you one of their message: “We can guarantee you that you will be able to come back after July 14, at the end of the famous ‘hundred days’ of Emmanuel Macron.”
We are there, the hundred days of appeasement promised by the President of the Republic have passed. Political news has been very busy at the start of the summer. It’s time to take stock, before ministers and parliamentarians (but also our journalists) go on vacation.
I arrive just in front of the room where the service meets, in reduced numbers in the middle of July. Don’t make noise, they are already installed.
