“I would like to greet the new ministers of the Bayrou government and wish them success, because it is the future of France that is at stake. I have a thought for François Rebsamen who has decided to participate in the government and who will represent his social democratic sensibilities. President of the Departments of France, I will continue a confident and demanding dialogue with the Prime Minister as I was able to have with his predecessors. I hope that we can resume as quickly as possible the work initiated during our meetings of the Departments of France in Angers so that the participation of the Departments in the collective effort is fair and proportionate. In these troubled times where majorities are nowhere to be found, the time has come more than ever to trust the territories. »

François Patriat : « Promote your experience, your notoriety and your connections on the left »
For his part, support of Emmanuel Macron since his beginnings, the senator from Côte-d'Or François Patriat considers in the same way that the arrival of François Rebsamen to the government is a good thing. “ I had the opportunity to meet him this morning (on the occasion of the Dijon ceremony in tribute to Mayotte, editor’s note). We talked at length about the composition of the government. I understood that he had a real desire to get involved, highlighting his experience, his notoriety and the relationships he maintains with many people on the left. […] He will have the opportunity to meet people he has already known in the past, including, in particular, Manuel Valls. For my part, I want us to enter a period of stability ; it is in the interest of the general interest. The equation is difficult. It will be necessary to ignore the opinions of the RN. We will have to find a non-censorship agreement with the PS, and I think that François will actively participate in these negotiations. »
