Emmanuel Macron launched a new series of consultations with political leaders on Tuesday, August 27, after his rejection of a government led by the left-wing coalition, “an anti-democratic coup” for the New Popular Front which calls for “a great popular mobilization”. So what do Macronist voters think?
Like every Tuesday, it is market day for Oussama, Place de la République in Poissy. A particularity of the city and the department, it is the voters who all, or almost, make the same observation: “It’s a bit of a mess, as they say.”
A retired teacher, Colette is one of Emmanuel Macron’s loyal followers, having been “dazzled by this intelligence.” And yet, today, “We are a little lostshe admits. We don’t know who’s going to come out of the hat. We’re in a somewhat insoluble situation.”
“He made a gamble and put everyone in a bit of a pickle.”

Pierre, an administrative executive in the civil service, has always been behind Emmanuel Macron, but “not really on this one.” “We’re getting a bit fed up with the sun going around Jupiter. After a while, you have to know when to let go. Because then, what’s going to happen? ? La France Insoumise is already preparing large-scale social movements for the start of the school year.” In fact, the party is calling for a demonstration on September 7, but not the Socialist Party.
“It is not up to him to be prejudiced if Lucie Castets can last a certain time and these consultations that he is launching, it is tiring and we do not need that”, adds Pierre, disillusioned. Same opinion from Laoussine, a milling worker. “He doesn’t want to take those who won the elections. I don’t understand anything. It’s complicated.”
Aimé, the cheesemaker, is also a Macronist, but not for long. “We are a little disgusted, we don’t know where we are going. As de Gaulle said, there are so many kinds of cheese in this country that it is complicated to govern.”
Another walker, Thierry, sees no problem with it.“The texts of the Constitution are quite clear on this. There is no need to rush. It is very, very good that he is taking his time and finding the best possible coalition.”
And it is by quoting François Mitterrand that Thierry leaves with his basket of apples: “You have to give time time.”
