However, they do not place full responsibility for the French downgrade on Emmanuel Macron&#8217;s shoulders. <em>&#8220;It was during Jacques Chirac&#8217;s second term that the voice of France began to waver,&#8221;<\/em> they explain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dominique de Villepin&#8217;s speech at the UN Security Council in February 2003 against the war in Iraq had a considerable echo and raised France&#8217;s image, particularly in the near and Middle East. Since then, the Arab countries, France&#8217;s traditional partners, have struggled to understand what is going on. France&#8217;s attitude during the Arab Spring played a devastating role. Its zeal to support revolutions, to make people forget its support for former dictators, served France badly. Especially as today, France has to face a new turnaround.

The pressure put on by the French head of state did not have the desired effect in this case &#8211; as indeed in others. Even though they recognize him as an intellectual and a strategic visionist, Georges Malbrunot and Christian Chesnot note that Emmanuel Macron still lacks the experience to stand up to &#8220;old&#8221; leaders who have already seen many people try before him. They find that the president does not listen enough to advice.
