Invited on the set of BFMTV and RMC, Bruno Retailleau, resigning Minister of the Interior, reaffirmed his attachment to his convictions, while setting conditions for his possible retention within the government being formed by François Bayrou.
The fate of Bruno Retailleau remains suspended. As Minister of the Interior who resigned, following the fall of Michel Barnier’s government, he could be reappointed in the new executive in gestation. But during his appearance on the set of RMC and BFMTV, Wednesday December 18, he set clear limits to his possible participation. ” I don’t know if I’m going to stay in government “, he began.
Asked by Apolline de Malherbe about his wish to stay in Beauvau, Bruno Retailleau claimed to have entered the government with Michel Barnier, so the future remains uncertain. ” I want it if I have the means, because I started a job and I want to complete it. “The former president of the Les Républicains group in the Senate insisted on the fact that his proposals, in terms of public order, are widely supported by the French, beyond political divisions. “There is no majority in the National Assembly, but there is a national majority, […] who aspires to a restoration of public order. “
A delicate political equation
However, remaining a minister will not be achieved at any price. Bruno Retailleau firmly rejected the idea of renouncing the immigration law that he introduced: ” When I returned to government, I made a promise to myself: not to betray myself and not to deceive the French. Calling himself non-sectarian, he said: I don’t put the flag in my pocket, and I’m not ready to sell my ideas at any price. “Bruno Retailleau also mentioned the delicate position of his party, Les Républicains, regarding participation in the Bayrou government.
According to him, no decision is certain. ” For the moment, the conditions are not met “, he said. In concluding his speech, Bruno Retailleau underlined his desire to remain true to himself, whether he is reappointed or not. He is meeting François Bayrou this Wednesday to discuss his future. ” I think François Bayrou knows me. I’m not fooling anyone about the merchandise.”he said, leaving uncertainty surrounding its renewal, but asserting an uncompromising position on its principles.
