πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ—ž The independent, left-leaning newspaper Mediapart released a surreal article describing how much the government leader is out of touch:

Those who have been able to speak with the Prime Minister in the past 24 hours have left Matignon as disoriented as they were when walking the steps of Rue de Varenne. Others recall that the situation is not new and that the whole government has been sailing on sight for ten months. β€œThere is no more narrative, no more meaning, no more anything”, indicates the ministerial adviser quoted earlier.

The Γ‰lysΓ©e has become a big sad castle open to every winds. Journalists are asked to make do with a few loosely-crafted bits of language. Ministers meet with the Head of State only on rare occasions. The presidential advisors themselves don't always understand what they're doing there. All this little world observes, powerless, the presidential confinement.

The trend is certainly not new, as Mediapart has told many times, but it has worsened under the second five-year term. The people capable of speaking frankly to the President of the Republic were already counted on the fingers of one hand before his re-election: now, they do not even occupy a phalanx. Especially since the main interested party, annoyed by the ambitions of each other, is now wary of everything and everyone.
