The President of the Republic connects the interviews like the displacements, thus seeking to close the chapter of the retirees and to open others.
Challenges Thursday, the Financial Time Friday, L’Opinion this Monday… Emmanuel Macron has been multiplying in the media lately. Hardly a day goes by that we don’t hear about the President of the Republic, also omnipresent on the ground where he reserves the good news: salary increase for teachers, remuneration for all internships for students in vocational high schools, creation of 3,000 jobs in Dunkirk…
Meanwhile, the ministers are relegated to second place, like Pap Ndiaye. Or even Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, whose interview for The JDD did not occupy the media space for long.
And the Head of State intends to continue to monopolize attention: he will be the guest of 8 p.m. on TF1 this Monday evening. The image contrasts with that of the sequence of retreats, where the host of the Élysée had remained behind, leaving his Prime Minister at the front.
“Feeling of deja vu”
From now on, it is a question of closing the chapter, even if Emmanuel Macron evokes the subject somewhat during these various interventions, denouncing in particular the “denial” of the oppositions. At the risk of infusing a “feeling of deja vu”, by repeating several messages, as our political columnist Matthieu Croissandeau notes.
“The only limit is that from one interview to another, we find a bit the same things,” he says.
The coming months will tell more about the effectiveness of the strategy of the President of the Republic, whose popularity is, for the moment, at its lowest. “This political omnipresence, we will see what it does in public opinion, if it allows it to stem the fall in popularity or even to rebound”, analyzes Matthieu Croissandeau again.
And to conclude: “Good news is still more effective than long interviews”.
