François Bayrou proposed to bring together, Thursday at 2 p.m. in Matignon, the presidents of political parties and groups, excluding the National Rally and La France insoumise, as part of the composition of his future government. The Prime Minister made this invitation in a letter published Wednesday, December 18. The President of the Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet and her counterpart in the Senate, Gérard Larcher, were also invited to this meeting.
“Before proposing to the President of the Republic a government composition, I want to meet you to enlighten you and hear from you on the directions that we should follow”wrote the Prime Minister in a letter addressed to the parties, following several days of bilateral consultations with political forces. “The period we have entered” since the censorship of Michel Barnier’s government by deputies on December 5, “has created an unprecedented and serious situation”estimates François Bayrou.
“We are in fact on the eve of Christmas without a budget, which has never happened in half a century; the government is not yet formed since the previous one resigned; the progress which was made possible by the adoption of the 2025 budget are now suspended and the concern is great and justified”he explains.
