"Completely overwhelmed," "master of chaos": from LFI to the RN, the political class scorns Emmanuel Macron's speech, judged not up to the height of the crisis.

"Completely overwhelmed," "artisan of chaos": from LFI to RN, the political class scorns Emmanuel Macron's speech, judged not up to the height of the crisis As violence still shakes Paris this Sunday evening, the Head of State's speech did not convince political representatives. On the left, there is denunciation of the absence of answers to social demands, while the right scorns the lack of firmness in the face of unrest. Pass the advertisement Pass the advertisementThe speech of Emmanuel Macron was highly anticipated by high school students, workers, and other protesters who have marched in the streets of Paris in recent weeks against the high cost of living and the lack of resources in national education. The President's speech, lasting a little over ten minutes and delivered on television on October 18th, did not live up to the events, lamented by the entire French political class. The Head of State firmly condemned "unbridled violence" and demanded that "all lessons" be learned so that such unrest does not happen again. On the other hand, the leader announced no measures to respond to the demands: no unlocking of funds to calm the anger of young people, no announcement on fuel prices either. "Let it go quickly" This absence of concrete response to the social movement exasperates the French left. It is "absolutely irresponsible," criticized Manuel Bompard, the coordinator of LFI. Yet, "the demands remain this evening," lamented the deputy from Bouches-du-Rhône on LCI, judging that "on all aspects of the problem," the Head of State "announces strictly nothing." "When you have nothing to say, you are silent," the Eurodeputement member from LFI Manon Aubry simply reacted. Her colleague Mathilde Panot, head of the LFI deputies in the Assembly, goes further. She calls Emmanuel Macron the "artisan of chaos (who) is directly pouring oil on the fire." She scorns that the only announcement is "the possible ban on demonstrations." The President has indeed authorized the prefects, to "protect our cities," to "prohibit" certain gatherings. "Let it go quickly!", she exclaimed. Call to "amplify" the mobilization Even further to the left, the Communist candidate Fabien Roussel also regretted the absence of announcements. He therefore called for the mobilization to "continue," "in calm and with determination." The same goes for the leader of the Trotskyist party, Nathalie Arthaud, who invited protesters to "amplify the mobilization against the high cost of living, for the future of youth!" On X, she specified that she "awaited nothing" from the President, but that she was "still angry." The head of the Ecologists, Marine Tondelier, also stated that she was "angry" this evening. The presidential candidate would have preferred the Head of State to offer his "mea culpa" rather than summoning the trade union and political organizations "to Matignon like children in school." "If we go to Matignon, it will be to work on solutions to social, environmental, and democratic crises. Not for a disciplinary council," she warned. Natacha Polony, also a presidential candidate, explained on X that the repetition of the word "responsibility" in the speech reveals the President's desire to "better explain that he is responsible for nothing." "Our country needs to be commanded" On the right, there is a demand for a firm response to the violence. Édouard Philippe stated on X that he "would have preferred" "decisions and initiatives allowing for the return to order and the reestablishment of the State's authority." "Our country needs to be commanded," the former Prime Minister retorted, even though he acknowledged "a commendable desire to restore dialogue." Bruno Retailleau, LR candidate, qualified the President's speech as "worrying." "The President of the Republic appears totally overwhelmed, incapable of opposing the force of the State to the dog-eat-dog that threatens the Republic," he analyzed on X. The former Interior Minister calls for "declaring a state of emergency to protect the French." Jordan Bardella, President of the National Rally, also estimated that the power in place had lost control of the situation. "This weak and disoriented power has nothing to say to the French, nothing to offer them. It does not even have the strength to protect them," he wrote on X. His Nice ally, Éric Ciotti, calls on the President to draw "the consequences of his impotence" and to "acknowledge that our country has become paralyzed, in a budgetary, security, and political crisis." The UDR mayor even demands his "resignation" to trigger an early presidential election. Finally, the candidate Reconquête Éric Zemmour also criticized the President's speech, blaming him for "letting 500,000 foreigners enter per year for 10 years." anti-extremists I forget, in Spain it is a coalition of the same order as Podemos and in Italy it is the far right that governs CQFD Pompidou A miserable speech between a Celine DION concert and a trip to Dubai. He is a tourist, not a president anti-extremists Just an example, inflation in France 3.1, the two countries that have lowered their taxes on hydrocarbons, Italy and Spain 4.1 to 5 with the same excuse that inflation is global, due to Trump!? France in this great misfortune is not suffering too much!
