Finished dreaming ! This is summarized in the forum dedicated to Emmanuel Macron, signed by Chris Bickerton, a professor at the English university of Cambridge, and published this Friday, 8 September on a blog of the New York Times. This professor, pro-Brexit, which, from the title of his editorial that announces the color : “Emmanuel Macron will be yet another failed french president ” (” Emmanuel Macron will be yet another French president to fail “). Also, although admitting that abroad, Emmanuel Macron has helped to restore the image of French diplomacy, by posing as an equal to Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin, the teacher explains that in the field of domestic policy, it is a whole other story.

Recalling the dizzying fall of popularity in the polls of the French president, Chris Bickerton, explains that ” the popularity of Emmanuel Macron suffers from something more fundamental : the macronisme “. And to argue that ” the political project of the French president is focused on his own person. A large part of its appeal comes from its youth, its dynamism, its beauty and its oratory skills. This approach hyper-custom has always presented the risk that once the spell past, there remains nothing, which is exactly happening “.

Is this the future that France wants ? “questions and Chris Bickerton.
