“This lack of preparation is scandalous,” criticizes Pierre-Henri Dumont, deputy secretary general of the Republicans

The Élysée informed that “the government of François Bayrou will not be announced” before Monday.

“This unpreparedness” to form a new government, “it’s scandalous”criticized Pierre-Henri Dumont, deputy secretary general of the Republicans, Sunday December 22 on franceinfo, while François Bayrou had promised Thursday to present his government “in the weekend“, “at least before Christmas”.

“A government is a subtle balance”recognizes Pierre-Henri Dumont, adding that “there, in addition, there is no absolute majority. With questions to be asked about the political weight of each person and therefore inevitably, it is complicated”notes the elected LR, who recalls that in September “during the formation of the Barnier government”, “the same issues arose.”

But the deputy secretary general of the Republicans judges “abnormal that someone like François Bayrou, who has wanted to be Prime Minister for seven years now, is incapable of having a precise idea of ​​his governmental architecture”.

“When we demand, we stamp our feet in spite and we bang our fists on the table in front of the President of the Republic to become Prime Minister, we can think that it will take a little less time than what was the case Michel Barnier “tackle Pierre-Henri Dumont. “But we are very, very far from this reality” with François Bayrou, decides the former deputy for Pas-de-Calais.

“We absolutely must not announce it tomorrow [lundi]“also warns Pierre-Henri Dumont, while a day of national mourning was decreed by Emmanuel Macron for Mayotte, devastated by cyclone Chido. “Especially when we have the background of Mr. Bayrou who prefers to go to the municipal council of Pau rather than go to Mayotte. This would be the second time that there would be a sign, not necessarily of contempt, but in any case of not taking in consideration of the drama playing out in France, in Mayotte.”
