A new Prime Minister on Thursday evening?

When will the new Prime Minister be appointed? The head of state's entourage did not provide any details, but several familiar with the president confided that he intended to do so quickly, in contrast to the almost two months it took this summer to appoint Michel Barnier. So could have a new head of government on Thursday evening? “He has no choice,” says someone close to Emmanuel Macron.

So who for Matignon? The names of the president of the MoDem François Bayrou, the Minister of the Armed Forces Sébastien Lecornu, the LR Xavier Bertrand, the former socialist Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve and the mayor of François Baroin are circulating.

The very right-wing Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau, sometimes considered close to the ideas of the RN, or the historic Macronist Roland Lescure, associated with the social-democratic branch of Renaissance, are also the subject of speculation.

The task of the future incumbent promises to be immense in any case: in his speech before the Assembly which was preparing to dismiss him, Michel Barnier warned that budgetary “reality” will not “disappear by the enchantment of 'a motion of censure'.
