President Emmanuel Macron today warned the French of “the great upheaval” that marks this year’s return from the summer holidays, with “the end of abundance”, “certainties” and “carelessness”.
“We are experiencing a great upheaval,” the head of state underlined as a prelude to the first cabinet meeting after the summer vacation taking place today at the presidential palace, citing the recent “series of serious crises”, from Ukraine to the drought.
“The moment in which we live may seem structured by a series of serious crises (…) and some might think that we are destined to be perpetually dealing with crises or emergencies. I believe for my part that what we live in is rather of the order of a major upheaval or a major disruption,” Emmanuel Macron said during his speech to ministers, which was exceptionally broadcast by the media.
At a time when, faced with this situation, “our compatriots may react with a lot of concern”, Macron called on the members of the government to “say things”, to “name them very clearly and without catastrophizing”.
“I expect the government to respect the word given and the commitments we have made to the nation,” he added.
“What I wish we can do in the coming weeks and the coming months, is to reassert a very strong unity of the government, of the majority forces” around “a path that will allow us to consolidate our sovereignty, the French and our European independence,” he added.
Faced with “the rise of illiberal regimes” and “the strengthening of authoritarian regimes”, the president called on his ministers to show “seriousness”, “reliability” and not succumb to the temptation of “demagoguery”.
“It is easy to promise everything, sometimes to say everything and whatever happens. Let us not succumb to these temptations, it is the temptation of demagoguery. They flourish today in all democracies, in a complex world that scares. It can it still seems charming to say what people want to hear (…), but we must first think and ask the question if it is effective and useful,” Macron added without citing specific conclusions.
