The composition of François Bayrou's new government seems to be moving forward in recent hours. Its announcement could even be imminent. “This is progressing. (…) The structuring of the major ministerial centers is fixed,” explained the president of the Modem deputies, Marc Fesneau, in La Tribune on Sunday, confirming that the complete government list should be presented “in one go ” and “before Christmas”
In fact, President Emmanuel Macron returns to France this morning, after three full days outside France, to Mayotte, then Djibouti and Ethiopia, opening a window for an announcement. Tomorrow, there is little chance that a government will be announced, due to the national day of mourning decreed by the head of state for the Mahorais whose island was devastated by cyclone Chido. There would still be Tuesday, December 24, just before France plunges into the end-of-year celebrations.
