There was a first warning shot, Monday evening, during the Pau municipal council, where several councilors lectured Bayrou: his place was not in Pau but in Mayotte, the French archipelago devastated by a cyclone . At least, to the crisis unit chaired by the President of the Republic. Yesterday, it was in the National Assembly that he was criticized for his thoughtlessness. Obviously, the Prime Minister turned a deaf ear to these reproaches, praising his roots in the province, which earned him this attack from Mathilde Panot of France insoumise: “You should not have gone to Pau to maintain a mandate! You should have gone to the crisis unit for Mayotte…”.
“There is a break between provincial life and the circles of power in Paris”

But as you can’t teach an old monkey to make a grimace, this was the opportunity for the new head of government to send the deputies back to their so-called elitist reflexes: “If I had gone to the municipal council in the 7th arrondissement of Paris or Neuilly, you would have found it very good! Allow me to tell you that there is a break between provincial life and the circles of power in Paris.” François Bayrou therefore found it very satisfying to have followed the crisis meeting in Mayotte “by video”. We can, however, think that he had something else to do on Monday evening than take a Republic plane to Pau and plead for the accumulation of mandates! How could he make such a mistake? A question from the former Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin for the Macronist group allowed him to announce the planned measures: “European funds and of course national solidarity, because that is what we are here for. As after Cyclone Irma in the West Indies in September 2017, we will set up a dedicated team.”

Yesterday, during this first face-to-face meeting between the head of government and the national representation, everyone also pushed their pawn. Laure Lavalette of the RN to deplore that “Emmanuel Macron is depriving the country” of a head of government from his ranks. Boris Vallaud also demanded, for the socialists, “the exercise of power” and asked the Prime Minister to respect “the republican front by refusing the ideas of the National Rally”. The opportunity for François Bayrou, as a “fierce supporter of pluralism”, to express his “respect for each and every member of each of the groups” and to reaffirm that “no subject will be put aside. I will not conceal anything, I will leave nothing aside, nothing untreated and nothing unanswered”, before promising “a government in a few days”. The session made it possible to verify that the Assembly, no more than during the Barnier quarter, does not seem ready to make compromises.
