Xavier Bertrand will not participate, the RN won its case

REHABILITATION – Objective, to avoid censorship of the National Rally. As in September, Xavier Bertrand will not be part of the government. At the end of the summer, Marine Le Pen informed Emmanuel Macron that she will censor a team led by the president of the Hauts-de-France region. Emmanuel Macron then chose Michel Barnier.

Three and a half months later, the former Minister of Labor was eyeing a sovereign ministry and it was on the side of Justice that François Bayrou envisaged him. But this Monday, December 23, a few minutes before the announcement of the new government, Xavier Bertrand published a press release in which he announced that there would not be one.

“I refuse to participate in a government of France formed with the approval of Marine Le Pen”thunders Xavier Bertrand who says he refused other proposals made by the Prime Minister.

For several hours, leaders of the extreme right had been using the media to denounce the possible arrival of Xavier Bertrand at the Ministry of Justice. Elected twice at the head of the Hauts-de-France region thanks to a Republican front, he was pleased in 2021 to have “ broken jaws » you RN.

Comments still not digested by Marine Le Pen and even less in the perspective of a judgment expected in the spring in the case of fictitious jobs in the European Parliament. To the point that the threat of a motion of censure was agitated.
