#1: The French President’s unhealthy obsession with symbolism
#2: Emmanuel Macron’s “feminism”

#3: Emmanuel Macron’s businesslike media strategy is worrying the French press

#4: France’s housing aid row is the latest indication of Emmanuel Macron’s class problem

#5: On immigration, Macron’s words draw borders

#6: Emmanuel Macron’s power struggle with the military

#7: Emmanuel “neither left nor right” Macron is sliding fast toward the right

#8: Macron’s modernism has neither escaped nor addressed France’s colonial history in Africa
