what the French think

Barely named, Monday December 23, the government of François Bayrou is already under fire from criticism from the French. Manuel Valls at Overseas, or even Gérald Darmanin at Justice, are not convincing choices for the Lyonnais interviewed Monday evening: “I’m disgusted”deplores a passerby in the streets of Lyon (Rhône), believing that “Darmanin has a few pans”et que the where a “seen at work Élisabeth Borne”former Prime Minister appointed Minister of Education.

In Lille (North), residents are just as perplexed. They fear further censorship in the coming weeks. “We take the same ones and start again”comments a local resident, convinced that the government will go “right to the wall”. “In a short time, Mr. Bayrou will jump like Mr. Barnier”adds a man. But an expected former heavyweight will ultimately not be part of the government team: Xavier Bertrand, the LR president of Hauts-de-France, would not have been appointed under pressure from the National Rally. Some French people are now waiting for things to move forward.
