Every day, those in the know debate the news around Victor Matet

The themes:

Bayrou Government:

Despite signs of an imminent announcement, the composition of the government should not be known until Monday or Tuesday, after a day of intense negotiations and exchanges between Prime Minister François Bayrou and President Emmanuel Macron. Matignon tells franceinfo that there are still checks in progress. The list of ministers must in particular be analyzed by the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life, says Matignon. The two heads of the executive had planned to meet in person on Sunday late afternoon after two meetings already during the day. Emmanuel Macron returned early in the morning from a three-day tour of Brussels, Mayotte and East Africa.

National day of mourning in tribute to the victims of Cyclone Chido in Mayotte:

Emmanuel Macron declared national mourning on Monday December 23 to pay tribute to the victims of Cyclone Chido which devastated the department of Mayotte on December 14. Flags will be flown at half-mast on public buildings and buildings all day Monday, December 23. At 11 a.m., all citizens are invited to respect a minute of silence.

Increase in the price of medical consultations:

The increases in the price of medical consultations are linked to the new agreement signed in June by Health Insurance and the unions of private doctors, to define their relations over the period 2024-2029. It “will simply catch up with inflation. It’s the result of tough negotiations, you’ve been hearing about it for two and a half years,” underlines Agnès Gianotti. “It’s not even an increase, it’s an upgrade taking into account inflation,” she insists. The president of MG France also explains that the increase in prices for medical consultations will have no consequences for most patients. This will concern patients who have not subscribed to mutual insurance. For them, “effectively the user fee will increase by one euro”.
