Au crible de l'HistoireEmmanuel Macron: Louis XVI... Par ignoranceUne question? Une remarque? Autre chose? Ecrivez-moi!Avec le mouvement des Gilets jaunes, le Grand débat, la contestation extraordinaire du pouvoir politique, sans oublier le retour à la mode du château de Versailles, beaucoup font l'analogie avec la France de 1789-1793. "Macron c'est Louis XVI", dit-on dans les rangs de la gauche et même de LREM, le Président lui-même s'identifiant régulièrement au dernier monarque absolu de France. Mais pas question pour lui de monter à l'échafaud; en bon connaisseur de l'histoire, qu'il connaît mal, il sait comment éviter ce destin funeste: "S...

AnalysisIrish QuestionsVoters and politicians in Britain claim to be perplexed that economic and political relations between the UK and the Republic of Ireland seem to be decisive in determining the course of Brexit.
