The appointment of the future Prime Minister is on everyone’s lips. This Wednesday, August 28, 2024, Emmanuel Macron still has to meet with various parties to discuss this subject. But for the New Popular Front, the refusal of the president of the Republic to appoint Lucie Castets to this post is not going down well.
Present on the BFMTV set, François Bayrou was questioned by Apolline de Malherbe: “I won’t make a bad transition, François Bayrou, but you just said, ‘We can’t act as if nothing is happening’, ‘actions must have consequences’. Basically, more broadly, this is a bit of the question that the French are asking themselves this morning: “Will the elections have consequences?”,
she begins by declaring.
Apolline de Malherbe disconcerted by François Bayrou’s reaction
And she will refer to a François Hollande’s media release which will make François Bayrou laugh with a lot of irony: “The consultations are still in progress. François Hollande, the former president, who became a deputy, said this morning in the newspaper Le Point: ‘It was not up to the president to censure a Castets government but up to the Assembly eventually. In any case, he says that he was censored preemptively by Emmanuel Macron. It makes you laugh”.
Indeed, when recalling the words spoken by the former head of state, François Bayrou has a surprising instinctive reaction. “This sentence is nonsense. François Hollande, as far as I know, was President of the Republic, he should remember that too. If he was President of the Republic, he must know the Constitution.”he says.
Will Emmanuel Macron appoint a Prime Minister in the coming days?
François Hollande seems to be very angry with Emmanuel Macron’s choices: “The emergence of an alternative solution would then have acquired a stronger legitimacy,” he estimated, evoking “two conditions”
to achieve “govern with all the components of the left”.
He wishes that “government direction” either “socialist” and that “this union [des gauches]
follows a line of openness capable of reaching compromises and that it is favourable to European construction”.
Arguments that Emmanuel Macron does not seem to hear. But when will there be a new Prime Minister?
