François Bayrou still in search of a government, Emmanuel Macron in Mayotte, verdict in the Pelicot trial… Franceinfo news from Thursday December 19, 2024

Every day, those in the know debate the news around Jean-Rémi Baudot and Agathe Lambret.

The themes:

Government : The Prime Minister continues his consultations in search of a new government. François Bayrou today received the President of the National Assembly, the President of the Senate and the main party leaders, except for the RN and LFI, but he is still struggling to convince.

Mayotte: Emmanuel Macron was in Mayotte this Thursday after the passage of Cyclone Chido. The President of the Republic announced the implementation of a special law to “rebuild” the island. Are these announcements enough?

Mazan rape trial: After three months of hearings, the accused in the Mazan rape trial were all convicted. The main accused, Dominique Pelicot, was sentenced to twenty years in prison, the maximum sentence for having drugged his ex-wife, Gisèle Pelicot, to rape her and have her raped by dozens of men. What will remain of this historic trial?
