Emmanuel Macron, his “debt” to John Kennedy, who does not go unnoticed – Gala

Gala policy

Highly anticipated, the first greeting of the president Emmanuel Macron have not renewed the genre. The president has preferred to take its place in History and make reference to Kennedy, who spoke similar words in 1961.

We already knew that Emmanuel Macron was inspired by Barack Obama for his presidential campaign. During his greeting of new year December 31, the French president has once again looked to the United States. This time it is not towards the charismatic Barack Obama that he must seek but a little bit of history. It is on this another time president young, modern and attractive which has inspired the head of State. And if some expected a revolution in the form, the president has settled for a form of ultra classic and solemn.

Without detailing the reforms of 2018, Emmanuel Macron drawn the broad lines of its projects, its values, pounding, as had been the american president John Fitzgerald Kennedy before him : ” Ask yourself each morning what you can do for the country. “ A loan that has not escaped the commentators who interpret this 1st January with the letter and spirit of the speech of Emmanuel Macron, his first New Year since his election last may.

If he has not indicated, in his speech, that his words belonged to JFK, be aware that they have been spoken at the inaugural address of the 35th u.s. president in Washington on January 20, 1961 : ” And so, my dear fellow americans : ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country “ had launched the 35th president. And if this speech date from the 60’s, JFK remains decades later a symbol of modernity and youth.

The president has also published a video, more a short, to the social networks.
