Prime Minister François Bayrou welcomed this Monday, December 23 on the set of BFMTV the appointment of Manuel Valls to the Overseas Ministry, hailing a “bold personality”.
Former Prime Minister Manuel Valls was appointed Minister of State for Overseas Territories by François Bayrou this Monday, December 23. An appointment that Michel Barnier's successor defended on the BFMTV set.
François Bayrou described him as a “slightly kamikaze personality” because he is the former socialist Prime Minister of François Hollande “naturally in conflict” with the left “on subjects which are very important, very difficult”.
“I like daring personalities (…) a personality who does not fear risk,” added the Prime Minister, saying he had “esteem” for him.
However, behind his appointment he refuted any “bargaining” with the PS when he could seek the party's favors to avoid censorship. The president of Modem spoke of “challenges at the right height and personalities to respond to them at the right height”.
“One of the heaviest questions for our country”
François Bayrou thus welcomed the appointment of Manuel Valls as the government's second minister of state on “one of the heaviest issues for our country”, “overseas”.
“These are societies that are often very fractured, very destabilized and have the feeling that they are not being taken care of,” he said.
In addition to Manuel Valls, François Bayrou praised on BFMTV the appointment of former Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne to the post of Minister of State responsible for National Education. He praised a “very experienced personality who had to take up the challenge of being head of government”. The president of Modem thus considered her capable of meeting what he considers to be the “country's first challenge”: “education”.
