French presidential election: Macron the rightful heir of Hollande?

Election présidentielle : Emmanuel Macron est-il le candidat du hollandisme ?

Accusé par ses contradicteurs d’être “l’héritier” de François Hollande, le candidat Macron refuse d’assumer une continuité avec celui dont il a été le conseiller puis le ministre. Mais leurs visions ne semblent pourtant pas si éloignées.

Accused by his opposition of being the “heir” of Francois Hollande, the candidate Macron refuses to assume a continuum with that of Hollande’s advisor then a minister. But their visions do not seem that far apart.

C’est l’un des rares points qui met d’accord les ténors de la droite et la gauche de Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Le programme d’Emmanuel Macron serait dans la droite ligne du hollandisme, et le candidat d’En marche ! ne serait que “l’héritier” du président sortant, dont il a été le conseiller à l’Elysée avant d’entrer au gouvernement. Une critique réfutée en bloc par l’intéressé. Le candidat Macron est-il vraiment en rupture avec François Hollande, ou incarne-t-il au contraire la continuité du quinquennat qui s’achève ?

Jean-Luc Melenchon (extreme left) rarely joins the principles of right and left. However the Macron programme shows it will be directly linked to Holland’s principles and the candidate on the move! Not only is he the “heir” to the current president but he was also advisor to the Elysee before he entered government. A critic refuted the connection. Did the new candidate really make a clean break with Francois Hollande, or is Macron the president incarnate with intentions to achieve continuity with Hollandism?   

 

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
