Heard smiles
Look how happy and content they look spending time together. That’s the magic of politics. On Sunday August 27, the ambitious Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin intended to make a resounding return to his stronghold of Tourcoing and thus continue to trace the route intended to lead him, why not, to the presidential election of 2027… It was without counting on the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, mandated by the Elysée not to let go of a sole. Constraint, therefore, to spend his last weekend of August in Hauts-de-France with a colleague, and a smile, please. Magic, really.

Coming to police the first cop in France, Elisabeth Borne had taken out her badge. Sheriff? Almost. On the lapel of his jacket was pinned that day his insignia of Grand Cross of the National Order of Merit. The Prime Minister received it in December 2022, after six months at Matignon, as required by the republican tradition established by Charles de Gaulle in the 1960s. But let Gérald Darmanin be reassured. If he gets his way – and at the Elysée – he won’t even have to wait six months: unlike prime ministers, presidents are decorated on the spot.

On his land and under the sun, Gérald Darmanin had dropped the jacket and tie. In the same way, he had taken care to roll up the two sleeves of his shirt, thus perpetuating the myth of the politician in the field, ready to go into battle. It should be noted that the question of rolled sleeves is a sensitive subject in the American army, the authorities seeming to perpetually wonder if this stylistic gimmick is not the symptom of the beginning of a military degeneration… This is how the regulations are changing at regular intervals on the subject. Right now ? Tolerance for sleeve rollers.
Top of the forehead
Further, in the background, a man wears his sunglasses on his forehead. Widespread, this practice is obviously based on the need to quickly free your gaze when passing through the shade. But it nevertheless involves some dangers: twisted temples, enlarged bridge, glasses soiled by the sebum naturally produced by the hair or by the grease of spray or styling gel type products… The panorama is already so dramatic that we don’t we don’t even need to add that wearing glasses on your forehead always makes you look bewildered.

In front of the members of the government, that day, was above all a funny lady dressed in a Phrygian cap. New trend ? Tourquenoise fashion? In the absence of reliable information on the subject, things are moving very quickly in the world of hats, remember that the accessory, attribute of Marianne and symbol of the Republic as much as of the French Revolution, dates from Antiquity and comes from Phrygia, a former country in Asia Minor, hence its name. Let us add that it draws its symbolism of freedom from its resemblance to the pileus, which, in ancient Rome, wore the hair of freed Roman slaves. This, for once, does not move too much.
