While the government is trying to put out the fire of the McKinsey controversy, some majority executives want to be reassuring, others cautious. Opponents of the President of the Republic see it as a godsend.
The entourage of the President of the Republic is divided regarding the use of the consulting firm McKinsey. There are those who want to be reassuring. “We have to put back the rational, the facts”, indicated a close adviser to the journalist of France Télévisions Guillaume Daret. The argument is that the situation is much worse abroad and that other governments have done it before them. There are also relatives of Emmanuel Macron who are much more cautious.
A frame from La République en Marche evoked a “slow poison”, because there are all the elements of an explosive political cocktail: a company with an Anglo-Saxon name and then suspicions of tax optimization and conflicts of interest. The situation is a boon for opponents, who criticize a state scandal. They consider the event as a business and are not ready to let go of Emmanuel Macron by the first round, indicates Guillaume Daret.
