The countdown is on. Since December 5 and the resignation of Michel Barnier, Matignon has been waiting for its new tenant. After government censorship, Emmanuel Macron promised to quickly appoint a Prime Minister. And it seems that the big day has arrived. According to several media in fact, the President of the Republic cut short his stay in Poland to be in Paris during the
appointment of its new head of government.
But for the moment, no name stands out. Journalists cited that of François Bayrou or even that of Sébastien Lecornu. But on Europe 1 this Thursday, December 12, Cyril Hanouna put forward a new personality. And to do this, he didn't do things by halves. He asked the Europe 1 management to call a random telephone number to tell him his secret information.
Roland Lescure? “No one knows him”
“Hello, it's Cyril Hanouna, we're on Europe 1. Sorry to disturb you, I wanted to give you exclusively the name of the perhaps future Prime Minister. I wanted to know if you knew him or not. Do you want me to give it to you?” launched Cyril Hanouna, raising the suspense. He then mentioned the name of the person who could succeed Michel Barnier: Roland Lescure. “No one knows him”added the host of Touche pas à mon poste.
“He was Minister of Industry for two years, he is rather the left wing of Macronie to seduce the socialists. Above all, he has the support of Alexis Kohler, the secretary general of the Elysée. He makes and breaks prime ministers”for his part, estimated Gauthier Le Bret. According to Cyril Hanouna, Roland Lescure gets along very badly with Bruno Retailleau. And the perhaps future Prime Minister wouldn't love it either…
More like François Bayrou?
If the Roland Lescure hypothesis seems to be the one favored by Cyril Hanouna, it is not unanimous. In the entourage of François Bayrou in particular, the elected official from Pau holds the rope. Those around him actually want to believe it. And according to Le Parisien, a meeting given this Wednesday, December 11 could weigh the balance. Because during the long minutes he spent,
François Bayrou chose his words tactfully.
“The surprise would be if François was not named, but hey, we will remain cautious”estimates a close friend of François Bayrou. But a few hours before a new appointment at Matignon, Emmanuel Macron's entourage is still causing total suspense. “He never named anyone who was in the atmospheresaid an advisor to the President of the Republic to our colleagues. Look at Philippe, Borne, Castex, Attal… Nobody gave one of these names a week before the white smoke.”
