Summoned by the new Prime Minister François Bayrou, at the Matignon hotel, the first secretary of the Socialist Party and deputy Olivier Faure was able to discuss with the head of government, Monday December 16 in the morning. According to the newspaper L’Opinion, several leading figures from the pink party have already been approached by the executive. Do you think that the socialists should enter the Bayrou government?
The new government’s negotiations are intensifying. According to information from L’Opinion, published Sunday December 15, François Bayrou intends to distinguish himself from his predecessor in Matignon, Michel Barnier, by opening the doors of his government to the left. The mayor of Pau would thus have offered several portfolios to executives of the Socialist Party (PS) to avoid any vote of censure on the part of the parliamentary group in the National Assembly.
The PS deputy for Eure, Philippe Brun, would have been offered the Ministry of the Economy by François Bayrou but would have rejected the new head of government. “I am not going to start a career as a right-wing minister at 33”he told our colleagues. If Jérôme Guedj was not directly contacted by François Bayrou’s teams, his name comes up insistently from the Ministry of Health. “They go to those they think are the weak links, because they are openly critical of the NFP. But if Jérôme goes, he will definitely burn in the PS”comments someone close to Olivier Faure. François Rebsamen, the mayor of Dijon, is also expected to join the government. “I’m waiting to see what they offer me, but I’m pretty open in principle”he declared in the columns of the Journal du Dimanche.
Karim Bouamrane would have refused the National Education portfolio.
Returning to the forefront of the political-media scene with the vote on the budget, the president of the Court of Auditors, Pierre Moscovici, would also be in the government’s sights. But the former minister would also not be interested. “Between a 3-month fixed-term contract at Bercy and finishing his mandate quietly at the Court of Auditors, it seems that he has already chosen”confides one of his relatives. Finally, Opinion also reveals that the PS mayor of Saint-Ouen, Karim Bouamrane, would have refused the position of Minister of National Education which was offered to him by a close friend of François Bayrou. A fervent opponent of La France insoumise (LFI) within the New Popular Front (NFP), the elected official did not wish to explain the reasons for his refusal.
