Yes. Above all, he has been good at communicating for a long time in his life ...
But having myself changed radically on certain points of view (I have a long time, until my heart attack, spade; about fifteen years ago, I had done a market study to buy a garden - luckily, a "good" machine with all its accessories, it costs, so I dragged my feet), I think we should not lock someone up in his "wanderings". Many of us are changing ... Fortunately.
It remains to be seen whether this is opportunism or profound change. I do not have the answer. I avoid taking the first option as "obvious". On the grounds of the past ... Which would be to deny the possibility of really changing.
I refuse to "think for others". I don't know what's in his head. I have no other indicators than: a) what he says publicly; b) what it does (exactly what we know about it).
[About "thinking for others", I remember this "opinion" of the class council in the CFA that I was directing: "Don't give a damn, should work more" - I summarize of course; almost unanimous; I happened to know the young man privately and his parents confirmed to me that he worked every night! Not getting the results he hoped for, all he had left as a "solution" was to "play the pot" so as not to lose face; he could thus let believe that if he worked, he would succeed; in short, that he was "intelligent"! Since then, I try not to lend thoughts. I do not know if Hulot has really evolved or if he is doing pure political opportunism. Or if he's in between!]
