Anne Hidalgo considers the Cazeneuve hypothesis “credible and serious”
“I have a lot of friendship for Bernard Cazeneuve. With him, we would have a real cohabitation, and that’s what we need, unless we want to sit on the vote of the French people.” In an interview with Ouest-France, the mayor of Paris said all the good things she thinks about the possible arrival of Bernard Cazeneuve as Prime Minister. For Anne Hidalgo, Bernard Cazeneuve “will be able to bring together political leaders from other sides than his own, notably from the Republican right, the center or ecology, around priority issues that are useful to the French people.”
François Ruffin believes that the left can find a “majority project by project”
The left must “seek a majority project by project”, said François Ruffin, New Popular Front MP for the Somme, on Saturday, saying he was “convinced” that a majority exists in the Assembly to pass several NFP promises such as the repeal of retirement at 64, the increase in low wages and the return of the solidarity tax on wealth.
For this, “we must hold consultations, it is the parliamentary game whether with Lucie Castets or others, he hammered home. If we go there, not by saying “The whole program”, but by saying “Here are the first steps that we are proposing”, so that the French feel the difference, so that they regain confidence, we will find majorities in the Assembly.”
Olivier Faure wants a single candidate on the left in 2027
The PS leader called for a single left-wing candidate for the presidential election, but assured that there would be “not a single blog post to tell us what the path is”, in a dig at Jean-Luc Mélenchon, warning that in the absence of “union”, the socialists would go it alone.
“If the path exists, then we will be at the rendezvous of unity for the presidential election of 2027. But if this path does not exist because behaviors do not allow it” and that “the battle of egos is back”, then “we will leave alone”.
Eric Ciotti launches the Union of the Right for the Republic
The dissident leader of the Republicans announced the launch of his party during his political comeback at a meeting at the Grand Pré de Levens (Alpes-Maritimes). With the Union of the Right for the Republic or UDR, the one who allied himself with the National Rally for the early legislative elections is giving a big nod to Gaullism.
François Bayrou pleads for proportional representation
“We should have changed the electoral law before a possible dissolution. The climate would have been profoundly improved, for the better,” said the president of the Modem in the columns of Monde.
The right and Macronie in harmony in Marseille
Two years before the municipal elections, the right and the Marseille presidential camp displayed their unity last night and the objective of building a “project” to reconquer France’s second city.
Marseille’s shift towards a left-green-civil society coalition was a thunderbolt in the 2020 municipal elections, after 25 years in office for Jean-Claude Gaudin, the tutelary figure of the local right.
The right is still in the majority in the Métropole, which notably manages transport and cleanliness in Marseille, and in the department, led by Martine Vassal, ex-LR. And the presidential Renaissance party is led locally by Renaud Muselier, also ex-LR and president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur region.
Both had ambitions for Marseille. Martine Vassal, a long-time close ally of Jean-Claude Gaudin, was defeated in the 2020 municipal elections. Jean-Claude Gaudin, who died this year, had never stepped aside for Renaud Muselier, who had long been his first deputy, as the latter had hoped.
Left-wing summer universities in turmoil
At the socialist meeting, the former rebel Clémentine Autain attacked “those who would have the good idea of accepting to be Prime Minister without the agreement of the NFP, and would create a crisis in your country”.
And the leader of the rebellious deputies, Mathilde Panot, assured that LFI would vote “a censure against Mr. Cazeneuve” and would make “motions of censure against any government which would not be led by Lucie Castets.”
Sarkozy’s grain of salt
“I hope that my political family will work to have a right-wing Prime Minister appointed rather than giving in to the easy option of having a left-wing personality appointed,” said the former President of the Republic, adding that LR runs no risk of “dissolution” in Macron’s rule. It remains to be seen who, on the right or elsewhere, still follows its advice.
Towards the end of the interminable suspense?
A decision on a name for Matignon could be made before the end of the weekend or at the beginning of the week, according to sources close to the president who has returned from Serbia.
Bernard Cazeneuve, who was due to take part in the summer universities of the “Laboratory of the Republic” of former Macronist minister Jean-Michel Blanquer in Saône-et-Loire on Saturday, has withdrawn. Elementary reserve before a possible nomination?
Today is the day? The name of the new Prime Minister should be announced this Saturday, after 46 days without a head of government (not resigning). Follow with us the political twists and turns of this new day of searching for a new Prime Minister for France.
