Emmanuel Macron Sous Pression A la une / International Violences lors de l’acte 18 des “gilets jaunes” Emmanuel Macron sous pression Edoua rd Philipp e (à gauch e), Christ ophe Casta ner (à droite) et Emma nuel Macro n. © D.R. Sous le feu des critiques face à la nouvelle flambée de violences à Paris ce week-end, le président Macron et son gouvernement envisagent de nouvelles mesures sécuritaires, mais restent à la peine pour sortir de l'interminable crise des “gilets jaunes”. Le président français Emmanuel Macron cherchait hier avec son Premier ministre Édouard Philippe et son ministre de l’Intérieur Christophe Castaner une issue à la crise qui secoue la France depuis décembre 2018, après les violences qui ont marqué les manifestations des “gilets jaunes”, samedi dernier à Paris, et les dégâts matériels occasionnés au niveau de l’avenue des Champs-Élysées. Le Premier ministre Édouard Philippe, le ministre de l'Intérieur Christophe Castaner et la ministre de la Justice Nicole Belloubet ont été reçus en fin de matinée à l'Élysée pour faire des propositions au président Macron, qui a promis des “décisions fortes pour que cela n'advienne plus”, a rapporté l’AFP. Les deux membres du gouvernement Macron devraient communiquer sur les résultats de cette entrevue dans les prochaines heures. Emmanuel Macron estime que “la seule réponse possible est une réponse de sécurité”, a confié un proche du président après une réunion lundi matin au palais de l'Élysée avec les trois ministres chargés de l'Intérieur et de la Justice, Christophe Castaner, Laurent Nuñez et Nicole Belloubet. “Le chef de l'État est très déterminé à faire en sorte que les actes de violences s'arrêtent et estime qu'il n'y a pas de dialogue possible avec ce noyau dur extrémiste”, selon la même source. Mais cette tendance au tout sécuritaire risque de radicaliser le mouvement des “gilets jaunes”, tout comme elle va susciter la désapprobation de la classe politique qui n’a pas manqué déjà de dénoncer la gestion de cette crise depuis le début. Dimanche soir, l'Exécutif a reconnu des dysfonctionnements du dispositif de sécurité, et même un échec, selon le secrétaire d'État à l'Intérieur Laurent Nuñez. Ce dernier a déclaré hier sur RTL vouloir se pencher sur les responsabilités de la “chaîne de commandement”. Le gouvernement, apparu dépassé pendant le week-end – comme l'ont cruellement illustré les images du président Macron sur des pistes de ski au moment où la violence explosait à Paris – reste sous forte pression. Le chef de file de l'opposition de droite les Républicains, Laurent Wauquiez, a accusé le pouvoir “d'avoir sous-estimé la violence et de ne pas avoir apporté de réponse à la hauteur de la crise”. Christophe Castaner et son homologue pour l'Économie, Bruno Le Maire, devront s'expliquer aujourd’hui devant les commissions des lois et des affaires économiques du Sénat sur ces violences et leurs conséquences économiques. En attendant, les “gilets jaunes” sont déterminés à poursuivre leurs actions de rue jusqu’à satisfaction de leurs revendications sociales. Pour rappel, la crise est née de la décision du gouvernement d’augmenter le prix du carburant, pour pouvoir financer la transition écologique. Lyès Menacer/Agences .

  • MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE”? Comparing the French and American Ecosystems
    institut montaigne MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE”? Comparing the French and American Ecosystems REPORT MAY 2019 MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE” MEDIA POLARIZATION There is no desire more natural than the desire for knowledge MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE”? Comparing the French and American Ecosystems MAY 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In France, representative democracy is experiencing a growing mistrust that also affects the media. The latter are facing major simultaneous challenges: • a disruption of their business model in the digital age; • a dependence on social networks and search engines to gain visibility; • increased competition due to the convergence of content on digital media (competition between text, video and audio on the Internet); • increased competition due to the emergence of actors exercising their influence independently from the media (politicians, bloggers, comedians, etc.). In the United States, these developments have contributed to the polarization of the public square, characterized by the radicalization of the conservative press, with significant impact on electoral processes. Institut Montaigne investigated whether a similar phenomenon was at work in France. To this end, it led an in-depth study in partnership with the Sciences Po Médialab, the Sciences Po School of Journalism as well as the MIT Center for Civic Media. It also benefited from data collected and analyzed by the Pew Research Center*, in their report “News Media Attitudes in France”. Going beyond “fake news” 1 The changes affecting the media space are often reduced to the study of their most visible symp- toms. For instance, the concept of “fake news”, which has been amply commented on, falls short of encompassing the complexity of the transformations at work.

  • Macron's Authoritarian Turn?
    POLICY OUTLOOK POLICY OUTLOOK DISCUSSION PAPER Macron’s Authoritarian Turn? The Potential Impact of ‘la loi relative à la sécurité globale’ on Civil Liberties in France Anna Murphy (Julien Mattia - Anadolu Agency) Over the course of the Macron presidency, France has seen what almost seems like a continous wave of popular demonstrations. This policy outlook examines the contents and implications of ‘la loi relative à la sécurité globale’, the comprehensive security law that has sparked the most recent display of anti-government anger. The outlook analyses some of the most controversial components of the bill, including a clause that partially bans the filming of police officers, and positions them within a broader political shift in the country. The opinions expressed in this policy outlook represent the views of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the TRT World Research Centre. POLICY OUTLOOK Background On November 24th, the French National Assembly vot- ed to approve la proposition de loi relative à la sécurité globale (comprehensive security law). Within hours, thou- sands across Paris and several other French cities took to the streets in a widespread display of opposition to the draft law. While similar scenes of civil unrest have become a familiar sight in France over the last few years, this new bill has garnered a particularly strong reaction from par- ties both inside and outside of the country due to the inclu- sion of several controversial articles. Namely, Article 24 of (Julien Mattia - Anadolu Agency) the draft law criminalises “disseminating, by any means or medium whatsoever, with the aim of harming their physi- cacy.

This article explores these two representations of political France and analyses the elections in relation to the wider French political context. It discusses the electoral dynamics that enabled the traditional parties to preserve their duopoly of regional power despite the increasingly intrusive challenge to their hegemony mounted by an ever more electorally potent FN. KEY WORDS France; French elections; regions; regional elections; Front National (FN); political parties 2 Winner Loses All: The 2015 French Regional Elections James Shields School of Languages and Social Sciences, Aston University, Birmingham, UK Introduction On 6 and 13 December 2015, French voters went to the polls to elect regional councils across metropolitan France and in four of five overseas territories. There are 18 French regions in all: mainland France counts 12, metropolitan France 13 (mainland regions plus Corsica), and the overseas territories of Guadeloupe, Guyane, Martinique, Mayotte and La Réunion make up the remaining 5.

  • Depoliticizing Discourses the Role of Editorials in the Reproduction of Consensus: Assessing the Media Coverage of the Yellow Vest Movement
    Depoliticizing discourses The role of editorials in the reproduction of consensus: assessing the media coverage of the Yellow Vest movement Mathilde Colin Human rights Bachelor thesis 15 ECTS Spring term 2019 Supervisor: Jonna Pettersson 1 Abstract The purpose of this thesis was to study how Yellow Vest protests, which started 17 November 2018, and protesters themselves, were being described in the French mainstream press. The material consisted in 19 editorials from 5 of the most-circulated newspapers in the country. They were analyzed using Norman Fairclough’s model of critical discourse analysis and within a theoretical framework drawn from Chantal Mouffe’s discussion of the notion of consensus. The findings suggest that the mainstream discourse on Yellow Vests is one which denies their legitimacy within the political realm through a process of depoliticization supported by discourses of contempt, republicanism, and unity. This study illustrates the struggle of protesters to be granted space and legitimacy within contemporary democracies to properly exercise their civil and political rights.

No: 1438/2868 Ramadan - Shawwal 1438 - June - July 2017 Ramadan - Shawwal 1438 - June - July 2017 3 opulism is said to be the major new political trend. From PBrexit to the election of Donald Trump in the United States, old ideas and conceptions of the Left and Right are being deconstructed before our eyes faced with populist mantras. The French presidential election of 2017 was a story of a pro-European, pro-business, globalist centrist candidate and underdog, Emmanuel Macron, defeating the favored right-wing candidate, decimating the Socialist left, and going on to win a super majority in the National Assembly, with a movement- turned-party he only recently created. However, what is not told, are the populist elements and narratives, coopted by all candidates in the French presidential election, and how this aided Macron where it delegitimized most others. This paper analyses does just that, in exploring and analyzing populist narratives in all the major French presidential candidates’ campaigns, as well as the context and evolution of populist sentiment in contemporary France in general to better understand how we have arrived at this point, and perhaps to better understand the direction Macron will take France and Europe.

An atypical ‘honeymoon’ election? Contextual and strategic opportunities in the 2017 French legislative elections Jocelyn Evans (University of Leeds) [email protected] Gilles Ivaldi (Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis) [email protected] This is the authors’ version (pre-print) Abstract This paper places the 2017 French legislative elections in the broader context of confirMatory legislative elections in France. It argues that EmManuel Macron’s victory, whilst rooted in the specific political opportunity structure of the 2017 elections, is also a by-product of the broader institutional logic of ‘honeyMoon’ legislative races. We look first at key aspects relating to the confirMatory status of post-presidential elections in France, and ask to what extent the 2017 elections fit this Model.

  • A Mould-Breaking Cabinet? Changes and Continuities in the Formation of the 2017 French Government
    A mould-breaking cabinet? Changes and continuities in the formation of the 2017 French government Cristina Bucur University of Oslo [email protected] Abstract Emmanuel Macron’s election as President of the Republic and the formation of a government that includes a mix of politicians from parties on the left and right of the political spectrum, as well as a significant share of non-partisan ministers, has been hailed by numerous commentators as an unprecedented overhaul of France’s political life. This article examines how the two cabinets formed under prime minister Édouard Philippe in the shadow of the 2017 presidential and parliamentary elections compare to previous governments in the Fifth Republic. The analysis reveals a less than revolutionary break with previous patterns of government size, channels of ministerial recruitment, portfolio allocation, gender balance and ethnic diversity. 1 The president and the prime minister appointment The Constitution of the Fifth Republic places the president at the centre of the government formation process. Article 8 grants the head of state unconstrained power to select the prime minister and to appoint all other cabinet members on his or her proposal. Thus, favourable circumstances, such as the support of a majority in parliament, allow the head of state to appoint a loyal and/or at least subordinate prime minister and take control over the government (Elgie 2013: 20). Several other constitutional provisions increase the president’s authority over the executive decision-making process. For example, the right to chair cabinet meetings (under Article 9) allows the head of state to set the agenda and influence policy-making indirectly (Knapp and Wright 2006: 89).

  • COVID-19: Macron Mobilizes France
    COVID-19: Macron Mobilizes France Macron: “WE ARE AT WAR” After Italy, it’s now France that sounds the alarm. This is now official, France is moving to stage 3 of the pandemic. President Macron said on TV: “We are at war!”. French president, Emmanuel Macron, announced on Monday a 15- days lockdown prohibiting residents from leaving their homes unless absolutely necessary. He told French residents to take public transport only if absolutely necessary and only for buying essential groceries. From now on, friends or family reunions are banned. The aim is to really stop social interactions to stop the further propagation of the virus. Each trip will imperatively have to be justified with the motive of the trip. For each trip, you’ll have to download and fill in a certificate available this Tuesday at noon on thegovernment’s website. The certificate can also be handwritten. In case of breaking these regulations, people could be fined €38, what can increase to up to €135. The goal being to really limit trips to the bare minimum. Trips between the house and place of exercise of occupation, when they are vital to your occupation and that you are not able to work from home (by permanent certificate) or business trips that could not be adjourned. Trips for first-necessity shopping in authorized places (list on gouvernement.fr). Trips for health reasons. Trips for urgent family matters to aid vulnerable people or take care of children. Short trips close to your house, related to personal exercise excluding all collective sports sessions, or to walk the dog Lockdown Macron also said that travel between the European Union and non-EU countries would be restricted for 30 days starting Tuesday at noon.

Chaque année, notre département accueille 2,4 millions de visiteurs. Avec le nombre de touristes qui augmente, les forces de l’ordre mettent en place des dispositifs spéciaux afin d’assurer la sécurité de chacun. A mon initiative, les gendarmes ont ainsi mis en place des patrouilles équestres dans le Verdon, en partenariat avec les agents du parc naturel régional. Les sapeurs-pompiers sont eux aussi mobilisés afin de prévenir les feux de forêt et de porter secours à la population en cas d’accident. Les mois de juillet et d’août, loin d’être des mois de vacances, sont synonymes de vigilance et de prévention des risques pour les agents de l’État, en particulier les sapeurs-pompiers, les forces de l’ordre et la direction départementale de la cohésion sociale et de la protection des populations. En témoignent l’opération interministérielle vacances et l’engagement des agents de l’État à assurer la sécurité des manifestations sportives, comme lors des championnats de France de canoë-kayak qui se sont déroulés en Ubaye du 7 au 13 juillet 2014.

Behrent, Appalachian State University n the ongoing saga of contemporary populism, France’s Yellow Vest movement has sounded something like the other shoe dropping. In 2016, Brexit and Donald Trump’s election shattered prevailing political orthodoxies by mobilizing populations around a potent cocktail of xenophobia, protectionism, and Isovereignism. Forces with a family resemblance to these movements are calling the shots in Italy, Hungary, and Poland. Yet while France had for years been a major breeding ground of far-right ideas, it seemed, in its May 2017 presidential election, to dodge the populist bullet: Emmanuel Macron’s triumph over Marine Le Pen was widely touted as a victory of hope, tolerance, and internationalism over fear, hate, and nationalist retrenchment.
