### LA Week des Grands Oraux: a reflection on the French executive
This week, the French political scene was marked by two significant events highlighting the activity of the executive. On the one hand, Emmanuel Macron, in prime time on TF1, sought to address the concerns of the French directly concerning the national and international situation. On the other hand, his Prime Minister, François Bayrou, was auditioned by a commission of inquiry on a controversial subject: the Betharram affair. These two interventions raise questions about the perception of leadership and the ability of the executive to respond to the pressing challenges of the country.
#### Emmanuel Macron: reconquest of opinion
Faced with an uncertain global context and internal political tensions, Emmanuel Macron’s approach during his intervention on TF1 can be seen as an attempt to restore direct contact with citizens. Political communication is often tinged with criticisms concerning the lack of authenticity or connectivity with the daily life of the French. Here, Macron is positioning himself in a proactive role, trying to provide answers to concerns that cross society.
However, the success of this exercise largely depends on the ability to transmit a clear and inspiring vision. The way in which the French perceive this approach is nuanced and varies according to social groups and personal experiences. The expectations are high, and distrust of institutions remains a major issue.
#### François Bayrou: Faced with surveys
The next day, François Bayrou’s hearing highlighted a more delicate aspect of the operation of the executive. The Betharram case, as a subject of investigation, raises questions not only about the past actions of the administration but also about transparency and political responsibility. Indeed, parliamentary surveys play an essential role in democratic control and vigilance on government practices.
This hearing also revealed the polarization of public opinion, with supporters and criticisms emerging from each side. Mixed reactions, often emanating from political and media circles, bear witness to a complex landscape where confidence is weakened and where transparency is requested more than ever.
### Expert reactions
In this context, the program hosted by Marc Perelman has gathered several expert voices, including Bruno Jeudy, Catherine Tricot and Frédéric Dabi. Everyone has brought a unique perspective on the implications of the actions of the executive. The analysis of these stakeholders highlights the importance of an open and respectful dialogue between the different actors of French politics. The questions raised go beyond immediate events; They relate to the very nature of democracy and the ability of leaders to listen to citizens.
These exchanges should encourage to question the communication and reaction mechanisms of political figures in the face of citizen monitoring. Are they in tune with the expectations of the French? Do speeches have a real weight compared to the acts performed?
#### Conclusion: towards a collective reflection
Great oral week invites us to reflect on the role of the executive in an uncertain political climate. The interventions of Emmanuel Macron and François Bayrou, although different in their nature, underline the need for clear communication, increased transparency and attentive listening.
Ultimately, it is essential to continue to observe how these dynamics will evolve and how citizens will react to the promises of reconnecting the bond of confidence. In an environment where everyone’s voice must count, the task of the executive is delicate, but essential to guarantee a living and resilient democracy.
