Olivier Faure evasive on the François Bayrou case

François Bayrou is still one of the favorites for Matignon, despite the right-wing hostility towards him from former President Nicolas Sarkozy. The socialist Olivier Faure is also reluctant, believing that the mayor of Pau would embody a “continuity” of macronism. However, he remained evasive about his party's attitude if Emmanuel Macron nominated the centrist. “We will then have to have a discussion with whoever is appointed,” he said because, “whatever the situation,” “we must be able to achieve victories for the French.”
