Embarrassing: Macron imitates Selenskyi

As war rages on in Ukraine, the press, radio and media celebrate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a hero. Especially in these hectic times, La Grande Nation is facing the presidential elections. And what does Emmanuel Macron do?

Voilà, he poses in the Elysée Palace in Paris, sometimes here, sometimes there, in a casual war president look à la Volodomyr Zelenskyy: a tousled mane of hair, a three-day beard, blue jeans and a hoodie. All this screams Macronian "heroism", "Voyez-moi! I'm so busy, hardly sleep, work hard! Time for finer personal hygiene? Papperlapapp, taratata! We are in war mode, no, election campaign mode!” But there's still more to be done, election victory could be even closer.

Hence my tip, with “the” Zelenskyy factor: “Monsieur Président, instead of playing heroic theatre, throw yourself into the battlefield. Your colleagues, the prime ministers of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia, are not afraid. The three musketeers of Eastern Europe visit Selenskyi and the Ukrainian head of government, Denys Schmyhal. À la maison, you would almost have won the election in your pocket. Apart from Brigitte's approval, and almost the entire French population".

But that is obviously too risky for Macron. He prefers to continue phoning Olaf Scholz and Vladimir Putin, urging and urging and urging Putin – who of course is trembling with “fear” – to call for a ceasefire.

And Macron? In the election campaign, he puts everything on one card: Moi, moi, moi! This is of course also an electoral strategy. In Germany, this "Merkel strategy" worked quite well. But consider this: the potential for revolution in France is much greater than in Germany.
