Several government figures find themselves in a delicate position. The troubles are likely to multiply for Emmanuel Macron to the point of making the government inaudible. Explanations by Catherine Demangeat, journalist in the political service of Franceinfo.
The interval between the presidential election and the legislative elections is exceptionally long (fifty days instead of the traditional four weeks). Emmanuel Macron wanted to somehow anesthetize this period by taking record time to form his Borne government. A way of not leaving space for his political adversaries. But beware of the flip side. “Today the government seems inert. And with the legislative campaign, ministers have a duty of reserve”explains Catherine Demangeat, journalist in the political service of Franceinfo.
But the problems are multiplying with the Stade de France affair, which has earned an eventful baptism of fire for the new Minister of Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castera. Moreover, the accusations of rape against Damien Abad, new Minister of Solidarity, continue to embarrass the executive. In addition, according to an Odoxa survey published on Tuesday May 31, Emmanuel Macron’s popularity rating is down 14 points compared to 2017 at the same period.
