He thought he had known everything in twelve years at the head of Pôle emploi. The sterile controversies over the policing of the unemployed, the political pressure to reverse the curve, up to the trauma of the assassination of an agency director. This was without counting on the Sciences Po curse. Responsible for restoring calm after the occupation of the “Gaza-Boutmy” lecture hall in March, the provisional administrator saw the storm unleashed, in a rue Saint-Guillaume transformed into a appendix of LFI.

To this is now added the management of the moods of its financiers, furious at the drift of the elite factory.
