LIVE – New government: Emmanuel Macron on his way to Paris after his visit to Poland

Marine Le Pen welcomes the vote of deputies this Friday in the Finance Committee. “Thanks to the RN deputies and despite the hypocritical abstention of the ‘common base’ deputies, the indexation of the income tax scale is voted in the special law. In addition to having blocked 40 billion in taxes with censorship, we are thus reassuring the French against Macronist lies”, declares the president of the RN group on the social network

Emmanuel Macron’s plane has just taken off from Warsaw, Poland. The President of the Republic is expected in Paris around 7:30 p.m.

Even on the right of the central bloc, some officials are pleading for a left-wing Prime Minister to be appointed by Emmanuel Macron: “we should go towards a personality who comes from the left (…) we can only succeed if we win part of the PS,” said a Horizons deputy, the party of Édouard Philippe, to TF1/LCI.

The deputies of the Finance Committee have just unanimously adopted the draft “special law” authorizing “the collection of existing taxes”. The text will be examined on Monday December 16 in the hemicycle of the National Assembly. In addition, the amendment aimed at indexing the income tax scale to inflation was adopted with 25 votes in favor, 19 abstentions and 2 votes against, indicates our political service.

After a bilateral meeting in Warsaw with Andrzej Duda, President of the Republic of Poland, Emmanuel Macron is currently heading towards the airport, where he will take off in a few minutes towards Paris. The French head of state cut short his trip to Poland in order to return more quickly than expected to France, where he could appoint Prime Minister this evening.

Three names are circulating for Matignon in the home straight: François Bayrou, Bernard Cazeneuve and now Roland Lescure.

The name of Ensemble pour la République deputy Roland Lescure, vice-president of the National Assembly, is increasingly cited to be the next Prime Minister. But Bruno Retailleau does not view this possible appointment favorably. “Roland Lescure takes a very liberal line on immigration. When we have deeply held beliefs that are so contrary to ours, it can’t work,” warns the entourage of the resigning Minister of the Interior to TF1/LCI. “This risks opening fractures… And not only at LR, it’s also a problem with Horizons.”

Emmanuel Macron is due to return to France around 7 p.m., after his trip to Poland. Will the President of the Republic appoint a Prime Minister immediately? Here is our latest information.

Emmanuel Macron’s trip to Poland is cut short, the President of the Republic’s entourage tells TF1-LCI. The head of state is expected in Paris at the end of the day.

Emmanuel Macron has just taken off for Poland, and the appointment of the Prime Minister is not planned before his return to France at the end of the afternoon. In the meantime, several names are circulating for Matignon: François Bayrou, Catherine Vautrin, Bernard Cazeneuve, Pierre Moscovici… or a surprise?

Guest of “Bonjour! La Matinale TF1”, Jean-Philippe Tanguy said he was opposed to the formation of a New Popular Front government. The RN will vote for censorship in this hypothesis, he said.

The appointment of the new Prime Minister should take place at the end of the day this Thursday. But an advisor to the Élysée assures TF1/LCI that Emmanuel Macron has still not made his decision, as he prepares to take off for Poland.

Guest on Franceinfo, Yannick Jadot, senator of the Ecologists of Paris, calls on Emmanuel Macron to form a government in coalition with the New Popular Front: “If we manage to build majorities in the Assembly, I do not see a problem with the fact of ‘to have ministers from the central bloc in our government We need a republican pact.’

However, he does not rule out the possibility for his party to vote for a new censorship “on the basis of what will be proposed as a budget”. Finally, Yannick Jadot does not want Emmanuel Macron to resign because the presidential election would take place in “the worst conditions”.

Place publique MEP Raphaël Glucksmann calls on BFMTV-RMC to respect the “republican front” of the last legislative elections: “We must try to see if it is possible to have a minimal agreement which will stabilize the country.” He pleads for the appointment of Bernard Cazeneuve to Matignon, which would be a “positive signal” according to him.

Raphaël Glucksmann is at the same time opposed to the idea of ​​Emmanuel Macron’s resignation: “I don’t want an early presidential election, I don’t want chaos. LFI is seeking to create the conditions for an early presidential election because Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s obsession is that he be president.”

“We are not at all in an abnormal situation compared to our neighboring countries,” assures LCI Claude Malhuret, president of the group Les Indépendants–République et Territories, senator from Allier, while the new Prime Minister is slow to be named. “France’s specificity is to appoint a Prime Minister very quickly.”

“The situation involves new methods of coalition pact or government that we are not used to,” he added. “Three solutions are possible: a coalition between the right and the left, a government pact with a minimum program or a non-censorship pact,” explained Claude Malhuret, pleading for a government comprising ministers from the left and right.

“The resignation of the President would not solve anything, it is a pipe dream,” he concluded.

Recalling her proposal not to use 49.3 if the new Prime Minister comes from the NFP, Marine Tondelier, national secretary of the Ecologists, assures on France 2 that she does not want Bernard Cazeneuve to be appointed to Matignon: “Bernard Cazeneuve cannot represent us .”

She is also opposed to François Bayrou, “neither left-wing nor environmentalist”.

The president of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, is delighted on RFI that Parliament continues to function despite the censorship of Michel Barnier’s government. While she had requested a rapid appointment last week, she considers it “important that a decision is made”.

The new prime minister will not be named before Emmanuel Macron’s departure for Poland this Thursday morning.

Addressing the French people worried about not seeing certain measures apply on January 1 due to lack of budget, Jean-Philippe Tanguy, RN deputy, replied to them on TF1: “I tell them not to be fooled by the elements of language and the government’s propaganda We avoided above all 40 billion euros in taxes, which would have been considerable.

Jean-Philippe Tanguy, National Rally deputy for the Somme, assures on TF1 that his party will censor the new government “if it is a Prime Minister very marked on the left or on the left, linked to the NFP, a minister with a team with Rebels , with the Greens”.

Guest of “Bonjour! La Matinale TF1”, Jean-Philippe Tanguy, deputy of the National Rally, believes that “there should be an urgency to appoint a new Prime Minister but we are used to wasting a lot of time with Emmanuel Macron”. According to him, the President of the Republic is “playing with the institutions”.

The special law, which will ensure the continuity of the State in the absence of a budget, is presented this Thursday to the Finance Committee of the National Assembly, before its examination in the hemicycle on December 16.

Guest on Europe 1, Thomas Portes, LFI/NFP deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis, assures that he has “no regrets” that his party did not participate in the discussions around Emmanuel Macron, with a view to the appointment of a new Prime Minister.

“We do not agree on anything with the Macronists, these are people we are fighting. There is no compromise possible,” he adds.

According to corroborating sources at TF1/LCI, Emmanuel Macron is expected to appoint his new Prime Minister this Thursday, while he leaves at the same time for Poland to discuss European support for Ukraine.

Hello everyone and welcome to this live broadcast devoted to the political situation in France, pending the appointment of a Prime Minister.
