The suspense will not end this Wednesday, September 4. According to information from BFMTV, Emmanuel Macron will not appoint a Prime Minister this evening.
Nearly two months after the results of the second round of the legislative elections, the president seemed on the verge of deciding between Xavier Bertrand and Bernard Cazeneuve, with a slight advantage for the president of Hauts-de-France.
Other right-wing profiles are starting to circulate again in the presidential camp, including that of the former European Commissioner Michel Barnier. That of the mayor of Cannes and president of the Association of Mayors of France (AMF), David Lisnard, who was brought forward during the day, is now moving away in turn.
Avoid censorship
The head of state is faced with an almost insoluble equation: how to avoid an immediate censure of the government, whatever it may be, in an Assembly where none of the three blocs has an absolute majority and no viable coalition is emerging?
Regarding Xavier Bertrand, Bruno Retailleau confirmed in the morning that the Republicans would not oppose a government formed by the former right-wing minister. For their part, the socialists announced that they would “undoubtedly” censure this government.
Just like the National Rally, which indicated to Emmanuel Macron, through Marine Le Pen, that it would censure a government with Xavier Bertrand or Bernard Cazeneuve at its head.
