First controversy for the head of government. François Bayrou attracted strong criticism on Monday evening by choosing to go to Pau to attend the municipal council of his commune, rather than in Paris within the crisis unit devoted to the cyclone in Mayotte, a meeting that he followed from a distance. From the city of which he has been mayor for ten years, he said he wanted to reverse the ban on the accumulation of mandates for parliamentarians and confirmed his intention to remain at the head of the municipality.
