Seeing the popularity of Edouard Philippe skyrocket, a close friend of Emmanuel Macron has not hesitated to put him on guard.
It would there be some friction within the duo formed by Edouard Philippe and Emmanuel Macron ? One thing is for sure : seeing the popularity of the Prime minister skyrocket, close to the president of the Republic has been obliged to put him on guard. Indeed, as reported in Le Parisien, a macroniste the first time is said to have declared : “I reiterate to the president to be careful. Philippe to its networks.”
But according to a close friend of Edouard Philippe, the latter is not in competition with the husband of Brigitte Macron. Quite to the contrary. “He is loyal. It is not there to develop his shop.” would have said one of his relatives, while Gilles Boyer, mep LREM have told : “It will not project. Its time scale is the day, the week. It is not the end of the tunnel and it makes it a bit black after that.” Although it is obviously liked, the Prime minister is not in the shelter of a government reshuffle.
Friction in the torque executive ?
Anyway, in the polls, Edouard Philippe seems to be far ahead of Emmanuel Macron. According to a recent Ifop survey carried out for Paris Match and studied by Le Parisien, the Prime minister would have gained 14 points since mid-march and would have reached 57% of favourable opinions. A score that is explained above all by its management of the health crisis linked to the pandemic of the sars coronavirus.
While the French, on the other hand, expressed their discontent towards the government, Edouard Philippe, him, stands out of the lot. What may be give some cold sweats. “The former right arm of Alain Juppé offers the luxury of getting ahead of Emmanuel Macron which, to state as a ministerial adviser, “tenses up the entourage of the president”. And that has also helped to feed the little music of the past few weeks on the friction in the torque executive” said The Parisian.
