Still looking for a prime minister, the two former heads of state will be received at the Élysée tomorrow. François Hollande’s former prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve is also expected.
Is this really a return to the roots? The President of the Republic is receiving former socialist Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve at the Élysée Palace on Monday to discuss the conditions for an appointment to Matignon. But above all, Emmanuel Macron will also receive his predecessor, François Hollande, at the palace, as well as his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy. The latter, who called on the right to “assume the responsibility of governing” in an interview in our columns this Friday, will be received at the end of the morning.
The head of state could thus seek the support of the former socialist president to bring about the Cazeneuve solution, who was François Hollande’s Minister of the Interior at the time of the attacks in November 2015, and Prime Minister during the last months of his five-year term.
The President of the Republic is looking for a Prime Minister who will not be the subject of immediate censure by the political forces in the National Assembly, 55 days after the legislative elections which produced an Assembly without an absolute majority.

La solution Cazeneuve
It is for this reason that he rejected the nomination of Lucie Castets, presented by the parties of the New Popular Front (LFI-PS-Ecologistes-PCF), a left-wing alliance that came out on top in the last legislative elections. François Hollande described “institutional fault” this refusal.
According to him, it was the only one «pari possible»as he explained in an interview with the newspaper The Point. “Otherwise, what is the perspective? I do not believe in the alliance with the center. It does not exist and, when it exists, it is the right, as we have seen for more than seven years with Macron.”the former president said.
From the centre-left, Bernard Cazeneuve, who left the PS in 2022, opposed to the alliance with LFI within the Nupes, is a less divisive profile for Macronie and the right.
