fame and, as a result, parliaments everywhere feel themselves reduced to side-attractions in the great non-stop media show. In 1828, the British historian Macaulay dubbed the press gallery in Parliament a ‘fourth estate’ of the realm.

On the home front, Chirac’s moves to restrict welfare payments (designed to bring France closer to meeting the criteria for the European Monetary Union) led to the largest protests since 1968.
