François Bayrou appointed Prime Minister
While François Bayrou continues his consultations for the formation of the government, the Socialist Party, the most inclined of the left parties to find compromises, seems to be getting closer to censorship. “We have not found reasons not to censor”alerted the boss of the PS, Olivier Faure, after a meeting of political parties in Matignon on Thursday, saying he “dismayed at the poverty of what (was) proposed”.

For their part, former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe and his Horizons party “will answer” to the call of François Bayrou to enter his government, but proposes to the tenant of Matignon to list the “conditions of this agreement”he wrote in a letter Friday.
