Manuel Valls and Élisabeth Borne will be appointed ministers

Xavier Bertrand, until now expected to join the government of François Bayrou, indicates in a press release “refuse to participate in a government of France formed with the approval of Marine Le Pen”.

“The Prime Minister informed me this morning, contrary to what he had proposed to me yesterday, that he was no longer able to entrust me with responsibility for the Ministry of Justice due to the opposition of the Rally national”, writes the LR president of Hauts-de-France. “Despite his new proposals, I refuse to participate in a French government formed with the approval of Marine Le Pen.”
