The disenchantment is palpable. Reading it, the French press clearly remained unsatisfied. ” Minimum risk », summarizes, in the East of France, The Latest News from Alsacethe ” close guard “of the president remains” firmly anchored in key positions “.
Macron is playing safety rather than panache », regrets The Republican East. For this other newspaper of the French Orient, the Borne government resembles a “ big redesign “.
Le Figaro hardly writes anything else by picking up the governmental list of a formula: “adjustments rather than a revolution”.
” Macron plays continuity… except at school “, spear Release. On its front page, this daily summarizes the Borne government as ” a good catch, retakes and bad surprises “.
The Pap Ndiaye surprise
First surprise, precisely. The appointment of Pap Ndiaye to National Education. Pap Ndiaye is ” the anti-blank », formulate in chorus Le Figaro as The Parisian. It is ” the huge surprise of this government, believes this last newspaper. ” Known for his work on minorities and the United States – and brother of novelist Marie Ndiaye “, the appointment of the new Minister of National Education is even “ a counterpoint, even a slap in the face for the former minister »judge in The Parisian a teacher trade unionist. “ When Jean-Michel Blanquer brandished last year the danger of an “Islamo-leftism” as an “indisputable fact at work in French universities, Pap Ndiaye considered on the contrary that the term did not designate any reality (…) the words of the new minister on the subject of “police violence”, of which he tackled the “classic denial” in France, contrast with what the Macron camp commonly says, starting with the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, renewed “, States The Parisian.
Pap Ndiaye instead of Jean-Michel Blanquer? “ Emmanuel Macron’s republican compass has changed direction, highlighted Le Figaro. With Pap NdiayeMinister of National Education, it is all the universalist symbolic charge that Jean-Michel Blanquer carried which disappears. Instead, the eminent historian who succeeds him is the champion of a diverse, “decolonial” discourse, directly imported from American campuses.says this newspaper. By choosing to install the Sciences Po Grenoble line on rue de Grenelle, the Head of State no doubt wants to seduce the electorate attracted by Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s Nupes. This game, as disappointing as it is dangerous, will bring him nothing on the left and risks being very expensive on the right. “, warns Le Figaro.
Damien Abad, the Iago of LR
Second surprise, the appointment of Damien Abad, ex-president of the group Les Républicains in the National Assembly and real war prize of Emmanuel Macron. “ Admire the backflip: presiding over a (parliamentary) group is not nothing, spear The Courrier Picard. According to this newspaper in central-northern France, Damien Abad joins the list of “a few ordinary traitors”, like Bruno Le Maire or Gérald Darmanin, “who left their camp after saying worse than hang from the president “.
Olivier Veran, like a rolling stone

According to The Parisianthe former Minister of Health did not appear in the first drafts. “He rolled on the ground to get something”, taunts a government adviser ” in The Parisianevoking Olivier Véran and not the footballer Neymar on the lawn.
