schestowitz[TR2]"ECB: "Queen Christine" Does Not Reign Over HeartsAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]Main TextAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]I never thought I’d say this one day, but I miss the Jean‐Claude Trichet era! This heartfelt cryAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]from a European Central Bank employee, read in an internal survey, is enough to raiseAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]eyebrows in Frankfurt. The report, published by the internal union Ipso, paints a ratherAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]bleak picture of the internal climate. President Christine Lagarde, a French national,Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]receives only 31% favorable opinions from staff, compared to 75% for Mario Draghi at theAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]end of his term and 64% for Jean‐Claude Trichet. The former head of Bercy and the IMF,Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]parachuted into the ECB in 2019, was never elected. And given her low popularity, she likelyAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]wouldn’t be by her own ranks.Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]While the German press ("Süddeutsche Zeitung", "Handelsblatt") is alarmed by thisAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]unpopularity, French media remain politely silent. Contacted by "Le Canard", the ECB,Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]which employs 5,000 people, stated that according to an internal survey with 3,000Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]participants, 85% of respondents say they are proud to work for the ECB.Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]Declining Approval RatingsAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]In the hushed corridors of Frankfurt, she is nicknamed "Queen Christine" or more simplyAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]"Madame." The Ipso survey highlights her autocratic and paternalistic management style.Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]"She’s not elected, and we are not her subjects!" grumbles one employee.Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]Stung by the criticism, the Bank assures "Le Canard" that its president "engages directly andAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]frequently with staff through monthly informal coffee meetings, annual general assembliesAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]with Q&A sessions, regular staff events, and even spontaneous visits to ECB departments."Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]That’s reassuring!Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]But these gestures fail to hide the discomfort. According to the survey, 77% of employeesAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]denounce favoritism in recruitment and promotions; 39% report being in a state ofAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]burnout. On July 28, the Ipso union sent a blunt email to Christine Lagarde, accusing her of aAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]contradiction between her public statements and her management style, deemedAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]authoritarian and opaque.Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]According to the union, the ECB is both employer and legislator regarding its employees’Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]labor rights. "This situation, stemming from the Maastricht Treaty, creates a deep imbalanceAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]and undermines the principles of separation of powers." No one had noticed before!Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]In June, CGT leader Sophie Binet wrote to Christine Lagarde to denounce "anti‐unionAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]practices." It’s not every day a CGT letter crosses the Rhine...Aug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]Among other criticisms of "Madame": her political leanings at the expense of the ECB’sAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]monetary mission. "I’d prefer she focus on 2% inflation rather than waving an Israeli flag orAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]wearing a Ukrainian pin," grumbles a young employee. In May, according to the "FinancialAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]Times", the Davos Forum reportedly approached her to lead a club of the powerful. AAug 07 14:11
schestowitz[TR2]prospect that excites some—especially those who’d like to see her leave.Aug 07 14:11
