One sets the “course”, the other goes into the field, the executive couple divides the task

Emmanuel Macron holds a press conference on Tuesday evening at the Élysée, while Gabriel Attal has been traveling all weekend.

Sound, words for Emmanuel Macron, image, light for Gabriel Attal. The head of state had promised for January a “meeting with the nation”. After changing government, he will deliver his roadmap on Tuesday, January 16, during a press conference at 8:15 p.m. After the casting, place at the back. There is urgency because there is uncertainty over the course followed by the executive. Emmanuel Macron will therefore address both public opinion and his own majority, whom he must reassure after the great ministerial upheaval and the rallying of several figures who anchor the government team on the right.

As for Gabriel Attal, the Prime Minister attracts the media spotlight, so he plays on his favorite terrain. Not a day without travel since his appointment. Saturday January 13 and Sunday January 14 again, from Dijon to Caen, he surveyed the country to show that he will “in contact with the French”. The objective is to show a Prime Minister who is not afraid, who throws himself into the fray, even if it means being questioned on immigration law or the hospital crisis. And as the new head of government enjoys an enviable popularity rating, we might as well use it to try to put out the outbreaks of fire sparked by a few new recruits.

Gabriel Attal comes to the aid of several of his ministers

First Amélie Oudéa-Castera was forced to apologize after asserting that she had sent her children to private school because she had “fed up” unreplaced absences in the public. A big blunder from the new Minister of National Education which angered teachers, angered the left and froze Gabriel Attal. The new Prime Minister did not think he was saying so well when he said “take the cause of the school” at Matignon, in this case, the subject risks becoming a burden to drag around.

Gabriel Attal also had to justify the appointment of Catherine Vautrin, former opponent of “marriage for all”, by emphasizing that the debate had been settled ten years ago and that her minister had changed. He also defended the promotion of Rachida Dati to Culture. In short, he is both the firefighter and the leader of the majority, already in the campaign, hot on the heels of the National Rally which is leading the polls for the European elections.
