Parmi les 8,7 millions de téléspectateurs, mardi soir pour suivre l'intervention du chef de l'Etat, certains étaient plus attentifs. Pour les militants du parti d'Emmanuel Macron aussi, cette intervention marque un nouveau départ.

If six out of ten French people, according to a survey carried out after the broadcast, were not very convinced by the head of state, the Renaissance activists turned off their TV with the feeling of duty accomplished. "Emmanuel Macron was very good", even says Jean-Paul Donny, an early Nîmes walker, who just concedes that the President has been "a little long, as often". "But that’s because& rsquo;he wants to move forward and go quickly, he pleads.

For this active Renaissance activist, this prime-time press conference also allowed "to show a long-term perspective, a vision of our society and, at the same time, to pose a certain number of points on which he was committed". This second wind promised by those around him ?"In any case a change of method embodied by Gabriel Attal, who wants to be pragmatic. On the birth rate for example, there was no bullshit, but the announcement of a six-month birth leave. It’s concrete".

Jean-Paul Donny applauds the idea of ​​civic rearmament more generally, illustrated by announcements on education or the generalization of the universal national service (SNU)."We must give guidelines to this disoriented youth, to their parents, to make a Nation again. This is the course of Emmanuel Macron".

The issue for Europeans

On a political level, this early Macronist also appreciated the outright attack on the National Rally. "He thus prepared for the June elections where the issue will be simple: do we want more or less Europe ? Faced with the challenges today continental, the President demonstrated that we need a strong Europe".

In Hérault, at Bousquet d’Orb, Alliance Zehaf, also an activist since the genesis of macronism, had a good evening. "After these very difficult sequences for us, retirements and immigration, we needed to turn the page and have a clear direction", she said, particularly sensitive to announcements linked "to birth rate, ’education". She adds: "It is important to invest in young people and the work promised on exposure to screen time and malicious content is more than necessary", assures Alliance Zehaf. Like many activists, her doubts dispelled, she is "pumped up again. Heading towards the Europeans.
