DA brisk appearance is Emmanuel Macron's signature discipline. This was observed some time ago in the noble Hôtel Royal Evian on Lake Geneva, where the German-French business elite meet informally once a year. The president, participants reported, appeared well briefed and attentively shook hands with the CEOs present one by one. A quick chat here, a quick chat there. Completely different was Olaf Scholz, who, as usual, arrived silently and took his place in the hall.
In terms of self-portrayal and external impact, the difference between Macron and the German Chancellor could hardly be greater. The French head of state, who has been in office for almost seven years, but at 46 years old is still younger than all his predecessors since Napoleon III, is full of energy despite his graying temples. This was also felt by Élisabeth Borne, who had to vacate her post as Prime Minister after the government dispute over the immigration law. Now Gabriel Attal, a 34-year-old youngster, is supposed to bring a breath of fresh air to the top government.
