Unless another suitor is preferred to these two tenors, who respect each other and talk to each other.
The president promised a head of government “within 48 hours” on Tuesday afternoon. An oath made to the leaders of formations in an arc going from the communists to the right, gathered at the Elysée in search of compromise and in the absence of the National Rally and La France insoumise. Ultimately, the President is going to take more time than expected.
Emmanuel Macron was in Poland on Thursday. He “cut short” his program, canceling a visit planned for 4:00 p.m. to the Warsaw Uprising Museum, in order to be back in Paris “at the beginning of the evening”, his entourage announced.
Once at the Elysée, he could have received his candidate and revealed his name, potentially in time for the 8:00 p.m. television news. But he chose to wait.
“The press release appointing the Prime Minister will be published tomorrow (Friday) morning,” said the president’s entourage, when the latter had just landed near Paris, returning from a visit to Poland. Emmanuel Macron had initially promised to appoint the head of government on Thursday at the latest.
