''....~In 1804, First Consul Napoléon Bonaparte,( the Emmanuel Macron of his day - a short guy married to an older woman), ordered the seizure of a perceived political threat to his regime,namely the Duc d'Enghien. When Joseph Fouché, Minister of Police, learned that M le Duc had been executed in a moat, he observed, "C'est pire qu'un crime, c'est un faute" - it's worse than a crime, it's a mistake. Yet the cynical police chief was wrong: two months later the First Consul made himself Emperor (as Macron is planning to do in late May), and the dead duke was forgotten.''
