Ségolène Royal does not spare him

Guest on the set of BFMTV, this Tuesday, December 17, Ségolène Royal did not have her tongue in her pocket when looking back on the first steps of François Bayrou as Prime Minister.

First steps as Prime Minister under fire from critics. Following the resignation of Michel Barnier, François Bayrou obtained the keys to Matignon. Almost a week after his appointment to this much-hoped-for position, the head of government does not seem to have unanimous support. After his trip to Pau, a city of which he wants to remain mayor, the 74-year-old politician was seriously heckled during his first question session at the National Assembly, this Tuesday, December 17. Guest of the show BFM Storybroadcast on BFM TVafter the face-to-face meeting between François Bayrou and the deputies, Ségolène Royal did not mince her words on the beginnings of Emmanuel Macron’s new arm. “It’s a mess”launched the former minister of ecological transition, returning to her presence on the Pau municipal council. And to continue: “Besides, I think he should have recognized it to reverse a political situation. He knows it’s a failure. He can’t deny it. Yet he continues to say it was a good decision.”

An opinion that François Hollande’s ex-partner is far from sharing. According to her, a “good political decision” must be based on “three” foundations. “It must be good in substance, it must be understood by the French and it must be taken in the general interest”she listed. Face “to the current context where public financing must be restored and a government reformed”Thomas Hollande’s mother felt that François Bayrou did not make the right choice by going to Pau. “Go to your municipal council and also plead for the accumulation of mandates, while the French are strongly against the accumulation of mandates for a very simple reason. They say to themselves: ‘politicians already don’t take good care of us, so what’s more, if they do several things at once, it will be even worse’”. Ségolène Royal does not budge: François Bayrou’s decision is “at the same time incomprehensible”. For her, the father of the family should have rather “contact the French and resolve a concrete and operational problem with farmers or workers on strike in a factory where there are layoffs” or on the Mayotte archipelago, ravaged after the passage of the cyclone. Everything is said.

Éric Coquerel perplexed by the future of François Bayrou

Ségolène Royal is not the only one to have doubts about François Bayrou. Guest this Tuesday, December 17 on the show C to you broadcast on France 5, Éric Coquerel did not hold his tongue when talking about Michel Barnier’s successor. For the member of France Insoumise (LFI), it is clear, “It won’t survive the winter!” . The reason? “He ultimately inherits the same problem and he follows in the footsteps of Mr. Barnier by evoking censorship”explained the politician before returning to François Bayrou’s speech in the hemicycle that same day. “Why was he so uncomfortable this afternoon? What is the underlying problem that makes this politician, who is rather brilliant, so uncomfortable?” he asked himself. Before answering his own questions. “It’s that when you are Prime Minister of a government, such a minority in the Assembly, with so few people supporting you, it is not possible to be comfortable.”
