François Bayrou is working to prepare a new government. But the Republicans are not certain of participating in this project as the vagueness remains about the Prime Minister’s policy. The party wants more visibility.

But his response on controlling immigration was not very convincing. “Is immigration a subject for our fellow citizens? Yes. And so I will be happy, in the coming days, to defend a point of view,” explains the Prime Minister.
