Emmanuel Macron: The secret text messages rattling the Élysée

Emmanuel Macron is going through one of the worst periods of his presidency.

Between the embarrassing revelations in Françoise Degouis's book, which unveils private text message exchanges with the head of state, a popularity rating that has plummeted to 13% in the Elabe poll (beating François Hollande's record low), and the unanimous rejection of the 2027 budget in the National Assembly, the executive branch seems to be at an impasse.

In this political commentary on RTL, Pauline Théveniaud analyzes the president's growing isolation, the behind-the-scenes drama of a tense end to his term, and the attempts by the Élysée Palace to regain control despite the social and political crisis.
