” Macron on coal to turn the page » : this is the great title of The Midi Dispatch. With this question on the inside pages: “ how can Emmanuel Macron bounce back? The Head of State is launching numerous industrial projects from today. He wants to show that France is moving forward despite the still active protest against the pension reform. He hopes to regain control for the rest of the five-year term. »
And he therefore relies on this theme which is dear to him of the reindustrialization of the country: there, he ” plays on velvet, comment La Dépêche, fortified by having halted the fall in industrial jobs since 2017, having created 90,000, having been able to attract foreign investors and new factories. The dynamic is undeniable. But, asks the newspaper, will it be enough to give the breath and vision that this second five-year term lacks? (…) Emmanuel Macron must also understand that we must move forward together to go further, believes La Dépêche. Rediscovering the sense of the collective, with the social partners, the local elected officials, and the French, is essential. Four years will not be too much to achieve this. »
“Saturate Space”
” Macron, the rhythmic illusion », exclaim The echoes.
“ Reindustrialisation, Jean Moulin, high school pro, he talks about everything, all the time, with billions, and on all media, from video for social networks to speeches with great fanfare. It’s not just pans that can make noise, reports the economic daily. Emmanuel Macron lives in a kind of urgency to saturate the space and try to pass off pension reform as a peripheral subject. (…) The president plays the metronomes to mask the disarray that seems to seize power, but this rhythm in turn contributes to destabilizing the whole. Where are we going, wonder Les Echos, what is the course, how do we get majorities? The doubt is not removed. »
Immigration project: it goes away and it comes back…
” The executive in the quicksand of uncertainty “, adds Le Figaro. Le Figaro which points to the return to the front of the stage of the immigration project… There too, it is revealing of the “ climate of internal feverishness “, points out the newspaper. ” A single text before the summer, then postponed, then two texts, then a single one again, announced within a hundred days, then a new postponement, in the fall, after an impasse in discussions with LR, then a relaunch, by July 14, discussions with the same political actors. There are still two months left for the executive couple to submit the same work to the same profession several times… They want to show that they are not giving up on acting on this French priority; he only succeeds in displaying his inability to succeed »
Release ironically: “ Immigration law: the government is re-re-re-re-reviewing its timing. (…) Braking, acceleration, deviation? One vehicle or several? With whom in the right lane? », wonders Freed. ” On immigration, the executive definitely seems to have lost control. »
And the newspaper wonders: what prompted the executive to return to the charge? The voluntarism of a Darmanin, clinging to his bill? The determination of Macron, anxious to display his firmness in matters of immigration? Or (again) the pressure of LR who is working on two bills in the Assembly? »
Djerba attack: “an endless story”
Also on the front page, the Djerba attack in Tunisia… “The bereaved pilgrimage”, headlines Le Parisien. ” Emotion and questions after the deadly shooting near the Ghriba synagogue on the Tunisian island. Three gendarmes were killed as well as two pilgrims, including a 42-year-old Marseillais, father of four children. The deep motivations of the assailant remain to be clarified. »
It is ” A story without end “, sighs the newspaper. ” Since the revolts of the Arab Spring, this series of uprisings for more freedom and less corruption, Tunisia has been subject to successive shocks which have regularly scared away foreign visitors, destabilizing the country a little more. (…) The coming to power of a conservative president elected on a promise of probity appeared to be a pledge of political stability after the Islamist parenthesis of Ennahdha. But, still regret Le Parisien, his propensity to install an increasingly authoritarian and populist regime, after the constitutional revision and the declarations on migrants, raise fears of new aftershocks. »
