On December 23, well before the announcement of the new government, François Bayrou spoke with Gabriel Attal on the telephone, Le Parisien revealed on December 27. A phone call which would not have pleased the former Prime Minister very much.
A call that was not to the taste of the former Prime Minister… A few days ago, the composition of the François Bayrou government was finally revealed. And the least we can say is that it probably did not delight Gabriel Attal, who then discovered that he no longer had any followers within the government. But now, as Le Parisien revealed in its pages, published this Friday, December 27, just a few minutes before the announcement of his government, François Bayrou took care to speak with the former Prime Minister on the telephone. And the least we can say is that the speech he gave her must not have really pleased her very much…
“I'm very annoyed because the president crossed out all the names you pushed“, François Bayrou informed him. A version of the facts which must probably have annoyed Gabriel Attal, but which does not seem to be proven since it was quickly denied by the Élysée. “The president did not strike anyone, let that be clear“, insisted on rectifying Emmanuel Macron's entourage.

Bayrou government: those close to the former Prime Minister denounce a “anti-Attal government“
Still in the pages of the regional daily, published on newsstands this December 27, our colleagues have listed the numerous ministers close to Gabriel Attal who, following the announcement of the new government, were rejected. We thus find Guillaume Kasbarian, Anne Genetet, Antoine Armand and many others… Political figures to whom Gabriel Attal was close and who are now no longer members of the government. A fact which would then have encouraged the entourage of the boss of Renaissance to denounce a “anti-Attal government“. “François Bayrou wanted a government with experience. He did not consider that the names proposed corresponded to this profile“, said a close friend of the president. Before continuing: “Afterwards, there are balances, we don't have to look any further.“
