“We have a very pessimistic Emmanuel Macron, he delivered a dark and alarmist message”reacts Thursday, August 25 on franceinfo Annie Genevard, president of Les Républicains and deputy for the 5th district of Doubs, after the president’s remarks on “the end of abundance” and of “recklessness”as a preamble to the Council of Ministers on Wednesday August 24. “He’s Cassandra, too”believes the elected LR.
“Is this the best way to mobilize energies, to create national cohesion? I doubt it”, she continues. Annie Genevard “deplores” that the head of state “put on this declinism costume”. She believes that “it is a fundamental error to agree with all those who see the future of the country in decline”. She also sees “a political tactic” from Emmanuel Macron who “puts on a costume he likes”that of “Captain in the Storm”.
The president of the Republicans also denounces “a statement that is out of step with the reality experienced by many French people”. According to her, “when we talk to them about abundance and carelessness, it’s anything but the reality of their daily life”. “I think that Emmanuel Macron, as often, was overwhelmed by the words he used since the same evening he changed his speech”adds Annie Genevard, for whom the “at the same time” Of the president “is fatal to politics”.
“[Emmanuel Macron] talks about the end of abundance, but I remind you that not so long ago it was the whatever it takes in an expression that resonates very painfully today when we see the financial situation of France, the debt which has soared and the external deficit which has become an abyssal abyss.”

Annie Genevard also points to the inconsistency of the government, which calls for energy sobriety while relaunching coal-fired power stations in France. “How do you expect the French to have confidence?”she wonders, while qualifying the policy of Emmanuel Macron as “contradictory” and “messy”.
