Challenges spins the metaphor of the race of small horses, comparing political editorialists to “ horse racing commentators who analyze the pedigree, performances and rating of the stable “, When The Express sees a “ battle of apprentice crocodiles vying for a place in the backwater “.

So here is the workforce review according to Challenges. From Édouard Philippe, “ the favorite of the polls, who prepares by crisscrossing the territory », to Gabriel Attal, the new Minister of Education, qualified “ of a star that never stops rising ”, and rewarded with a “ honors » in the columns of JDD for his arbitration on the abaya “.
