Guest on France 5 on Wednesday evening, the former prime minister took the opposite view of the New Popular Front. And urged his camp to “a spirit of responsibility” in “the interest of the country.”
Unlike the Insoumis, Bernard Cazeneuve has always opted for a sober style and refined communication. A form supposed to echo the substance, always on the left, but to be above ideological postures. While the former prime minister failed to win Matignon this summer in favor of Michel Barnier – despite a one-on-one meeting at the end of August with Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée – the founder of the movement “The Convention” officially expresses no bitterness. And intends to keep a high view given the fragility of the political equation.
Guest on France 5 on Wednesday evening the day after the failure of the left’s motion of censure in the Assembly, Bernard Cazeneuve judges that“we cannot fail to watch the parliamentary game that has been unfolding for several days without being aware of the extremely perilous nature of the situation if the Prime Minister were to fail.”
Well and truly in «l’opposition»the one who was mayor of Cherbourg (Manche) “does not share the overall direction” detailed choices during the general policy speech… but not “don’t want to fail” by Michel Barnier. His time at Matignon may have been the shortest of the Fifth Republic, but he “measures the difficulty of the task incumbent on him”on the eve of the presentation of the budget whose adoption promises to be a real way of the cross.
“An Everest of difficulties”
“It’s a bit like crossing the Himalayas without the mittens”quipped the former socialist. And to be even more lenient towards his successor, “faced with an Everest of difficulties” such as the debt, the deficit forecast above 6% of GDP, or the «situation internationale explosive». Way of pushing back the conflictual strategy of La France Insoumise and its allies, ready to bring down the government at the slightest opportunity to impose themselves on rue de Varenne. “We must hope that the decisions that must be taken are taken to resolve these problems”replied Bernard Cazeneuve. As advice addressed to the entire left.
“Hoping” what “the spirit of responsibility will prevail in the coming weeks” In “the interest of the country, the last prime minister of François Hollande “redoubt” what “the situation would be so deteriorated in the event of the failure of this government that it would be very difficult to determine a path that would allow the country to be properly governed.” A meeting for the future?
