Faced with protest from the streets against his bill, and after having escaped censorship from his government by 9 votes, President Emmanuel Macron will react. Since Monday evening March 20, he has been consulting. But what can he do to get out of the crisis?

How can Emmanuel Macron overcome the crisis, with rumbling anger, a weakened Prime Minister and a relative majority? What are his cards to bounce back? In his game, there is first the reshuffle, and the replacement of Elisabeth Borne. In the Assembly, rebellious France demanded his departure. BeyondELisabeth Borne, several ministers are criticized in private. But according to those around him, Emmanuel Macron has decided, no reshuffle, in any case, not now.

Take back control through reforms

Another possible card: dissolution. This is the number one option, especially for the National Rally. But the veto of the head of state, and the Renaissance deputies do not want it, for fear of losing seats. It would be a boulevard for the RN, fears one of them. So how do you regain control? By reforms, say those close to the president. But what reforms? No doubt shorter texts, closer to everyday concerns. On seniors, gender equality or housing. The president awaits the proposals of the ministers. There remains the famous pension reform. No question of withdrawing it, despite the insistent demands of the opposition.
