A Long Night at the Élysée
The streets are full, the bond market is watching, and the budget vote is at 9 a.m.
Your seat
President of France, six months before an election
You are President of France, half a year before an election. Tens of thousands marched today and the boulevards are still full; the budget goes to a vote at 9 a.m.; and the bond market has opinions about both. You have one night, three fronts, and one chief of staff who has stopped pretending to sleep.
Your advisor
Claire, chief of staff
She hasn't slept since Thursday and carries three phones. She doesn't give orders; she gives you the count.
