The new Prime Minister made his first televised speech on TF1 on Friday evening, after a day of consultations with the right and the Macronists. Without dispelling the uncertainty surrounding his future government and its roadmap.
A mystery, despite his fifty-one years of political experience. Will Michel Barnier, chosen by Emmanuel Macron at the end of two months of political crisis, be a simple collaborator of the head of state or a true Prime Minister of cohabitation? “The government will govern, and I will work in good understanding with the President”he replied in perfect wooden language for his first interview Friday evening on the set of the 8 p.m. news on TF1. At 73, the oldest head of government of the Fifth Republic is working to cover his tracks. His team “will not be just a right-wing government”he tacks, evoking “men and women of good will who belong to the outgoing majority”and even “left-wing people”despite the unanimous rejection of the four groups of the New Popular Front (NFP).
He, who was appointed with the consent of the RN, who does not intend to censor him from the outset, unlike the options of Xavier Bertrand and Bernard Cazeneuve, pretends not to see the problem. “I have nothing in common or not much in common with the theses or ideologies of the RN”he swears. If he didn’t have a “discussions with Madame Le Pen”the the “respect” and plans to meet with her shortly, as do representatives of all the other groups represented in the Assembly. Being treated like the other parties is precisely a criterion stated by the head of the RN to avoid censorship
