“Emmanuel Macron called for clarification at the ballot box”, “On the evening of the first round, clarification is in fact akin to a crash test, a form of self-destructive disaster”, writes our editorial director in our publications. This Monday morning is dedicated to the results of the first round of early legislative elections. The rest of the French press is in the mood, Emmanuel Macron “made a bet”. He lost it. Worse, it’s a disaster for his camp”, notes Stephanie Zorn in Voix du Nord.
The same observation applies to Stéphane Verjade in La Montagne: “It is clear that Emmanuel Macron lost a bet made in the solitude of a Sunday evening, the motives of which remained unclear for a long time.” After the European result, “in all the debates, many people demanded clarification. There were explanations, and not small ones. France is waking up to an unprecedented clash of two extremes,” said Patrice Chabanet in the Journal de la Haute-Marne.
In Latest News from Alsace, Pascal Coquy even sees “the end of Macronism.” “Therefore, the fact that the ruling party is paying a high price for this electoral adventurism is a matter of irreconcilable political and mathematical logic, which can only be hidden by the blindness of a head of state completely obsessed with himself,” he decides.
“The Republican Front: a week to choose from”, summarizes La Croix, in which, under the pen of Séverin Husson, it is noted that “the presidential coalition is resisting better than expected and, having avoided it for two years, it immediately turned to the Republicans”. “RN takes the initiative, the response is organized”, also evaluates the public good.
“They already see themselves there”
When our newspaper made this remark on the front page of Jordan Bardella’s article “at the gates of power,” Liebe emphasized the need to “stick together.” “Only a Republican roadblock can avoid the worst,” adds the left-wing daily. “Stand up” is also L’Humanité’s call. “They already see themselves there. There is still time to stop this,” Sebastien Crepel said on page two of the communist daily.
The loyal local newspaper, La Marseillaise, calculated “one week to block his way”, without putting the RN’s name in the headline, but speaking of “a brown wave across the country”. “To which Republican Front?” asks Midi Libre.
In Figaro, Alexis Brézé is, on the contrary, harsh: “Who would honestly want to put an equal sign between Bardella and Mélenchon?” asks the editorial director after a detailed analysis of Macron’s “catastrophe”. “The RN program is certainly worrying in many ways, but at first glance: anti-Semitism, Islamo-leftism, class hatred, financial hysteria… Being, however, under the dominance of the LFI, the popular New Front is, in fact, the vector of an ideology that will bring shame and ruin to the country,” he asserts his position.
According to L’Opinion, “RN’s rise knocks Macroni off his feet.” They could have written “en terre,” which shows that a very small word, “à” or “en,” can mean so much.
