Criticized from all sides for having chosen to go to his city in the midst of a crisis in Mayotte, the Prime Minister will be replaced by one of his close friends, the first vice-president of the community Monique Sémavoine.
François Bayrou will not make the same misstep twice. Combining the functions of prime minister and mayor of Pau (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), the Béarnais had attracted the wrath of the opposition by going to the municipal council of his city this Monday while the crisis was raging in Mayotte, after the passage of Cyclone Chido.
After the controversy, which he had difficulty getting rid of on Tuesday afternoon in front of the deputies of the National Assembly, the successor of Michel Barnier will not travel to his territory on Thursday to chair the session of the community council of the agglomeration , specifies France Bleu Béarn Bigorre. The Prime Minister will not even be in a videoconference.
A close replacement for Bayrou
To replace him, the host of Matignon hands over to one of his close friends, Monique Sémavoine, first vice-president of the community and mayor of Mazères-Lezons. In the past, she was also chief of staff at the presidency of the Department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques of François Bayrou but also his parliamentary attaché.
