MACRON’S SPEECH. Emmanuel Macron will speak on Friday July 14, 2023. If the form is not fixed, the content will be scrutinized. What to expect ?
He had stopped this traditional exercise (except in 2020 and 2022), it was finally he who made an appointment on this date. Emmanuel Macron will speak on Friday July 14, 2023 before the Nation. Simple broadcast address or interview as was de rigueur in the past? At this stage, the Elysée has still not communicated on the form that the words of the President of the Republic will take. One thing is certain: he will speak, as he announced on April 17 during a speech following the adoption of the pension reform. “July 14 should allow us to take stock,” he said, referring to the roadmap set for Elisabeth Borne and on which the Prime Minister was to work between mid-April and the national holiday.
The work (and communication) plan planned by the Elysée from spring to summer was well established. And Emmanuel Macron, the head of government and his ministers got down to the task. It was without counting on the Nahel affair and the riots that followed, which came to reshuffle the cards. From then on, the balance sheet planned by the Head of State took a turn for the worse. He will always be able to talk about the changes to the RSA, the launch of France Travail to replace Pôle emploi, the green industry bill, the 13 billion euros in investments promised by bosses in Versailles, the plan to fight against social and tax fraud or even the bill to reform justice, Emmanuel Macron should only be expected on one main point: his response to a police blunder and then to the abuses committed.
Can announcements be made this July 14? The Head of State does not intend to legislate under the influence of emotion, immediately. But while he exchanged with the presidents of the National Assembly and the Senate, received more than 200 mayors, and instructed Elisabeth Borne to discuss with parliamentarians, could proposals be put on paper by then? ? The idea “that at the first offense, we manage to financially and easily sanction the families”, formulated by Emmanuel Macron, will it have succeeded? A trend emerges, however: if there were to be decisions, they would lean in favor of the sovereign and order, and not of a new multi-million check for the districts.
However, the time between the events and the speech of the President of the Republic seems short for any large-scale announcement. As for the cabinet reshuffle, it seems to have been relegated to the bottom of the priorities. Because as a committee chairman at the Assembly told L’Opinion, “for the average Frenchman, changing ministers who do not print is really not the point.”
