, the former candidate for the presidential election believes that the title of chief of the armed forces given to the President of the Republic “is an honorary title”. “Extremely serious” remarks for François Bayrou.
“When there are divisions or fractures in a country, clashes, brutality… We have a safeguard. And this safeguard is the Constitution of the Fifth Republic,” explains the mayor of Pau microphone of Laurence Ferrari. “It was General de Gaulle who wrote it precisely to escape these divisions,” he continues.
A challenge to order?
