Who to replace Michel Barnier? “Emmanuel Macron says he wants to be present for censorship and appoint a Prime Minister in 24 hours,” assures a former minister to BFMTV. “The head of state does not want to appear without a government in front of Donald Trump this weekend,” says another source close to the president.
Several names are circulating, from François Baroin to Bernard Cazeneuve, including François Bayrou and Sébastien Lecornu.

But beyond the name, it is the question of the coalition that arises, to avoid rapid censorship of the future Prime Minister. During his speech in the Assembly, Gabriel Attal reached out to the socialists, whom he called to emancipate themselves from LFI, which coincides with his desire for a non-censorship agreement from the PS to the LR.
An idea that could please the left, since it had already been mentioned by the PS. “I will propose to all the presidents of groups in the Assembly and the Senate, of the Republican arc, to ask the question of the conditions of non-censorship”, launched Boris Vallaud on France Inter on November 24. But an idea rejected by LFI, which could weaken the NFP.

In a letter, Marine Tondelier, leader of the ecologists, proposed to the president of the Renaissance deputies to meet to “draw a horizon” which should “make it possible to redress the budgetary and political situation” of France.
We must “agree on a transitional emergency plan”, writes the national secretary of environmentalists. Marine Tondelier sent a letter in the same vein to the presidents of the parliamentary groups who had agreed to withdraw their candidates in the event of a second round against the RN in the last legislative elections.
An idea validated by Senator Yannick Jadot. “We must open the possibility of a transitional republican pact between the two blocs” of the “New Popular Front” and the “central bloc”, “around a restricted base of measures essential for the French”, he explained to Le Figaro .
In the center too, the idea appeals. Hervé Marseille, president of the centrist Union group of the Senate, defended on publicsenat.fr in turn the need to “find a platform of action, as the socialists say, of non-censorship, to try to find an agreement”, with ” people of the left”, “the center” and the “right”. The Modem is also tempted.
It remains to do the calculations to see if the refusal of BIA would be enough to obtain a majority.
