This Monday, the French president went to Mont-Saint-Michel to celebrate the millennium of the abbey. During his trip to Normandy, Emmanuel Macron sets out to praise eternal France. In addition, this meeting was an opportunity for him to respond to rumors of tension with Elisabeth Borne.
A president who came to celebrate the millennium of the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel and who made this trip a political symbol. And as if it were a question of sending a postcard to the French, but especially to his opponents, the head of state spins the metaphor. “It’s a place that is at the heart of our history, which teaches us this spirit of resistance, which we have always known how to have, and of elevation. This is the teaching of Mont-Saint-Michel” , said Emmanuel Macron during his trip.
“Giving the strength to meet the great challenges”
The elevation on the eve of a new day of mobilization against the pension reform, or how Emmanuel Macron is now striving to boast of eternal France. “This spirit, if I may say so, must give us the strength to take up the great challenges that are ours. We can either sink into a kind of decline, fear, anguish or confrontation, or consider that our history teaches us that we have always known, by looking far ahead, to feed on these moments of tension to build something bigger than us”, underlines the President of the Republic.
This meeting was an opportunity for him to respond to the rumors of tension with Elisabeth Borne. “What we wanted to create with the Prime Minister is not even literature but lapping. And so we have other things to do in front of such places than to comment on that. But there too, we need rigor because otherwise, we kind of create soap bubbles and there is not even any more foam”, insists the head of state. The president who, after a walkabout in the middle of tourists, said these words during his speech: “This place brings us back to these confluences of the past which allow us to embrace the future without dividing us”. On Tuesday, his Norman journey will end on the landing beaches.
