Emmanuel Macron presses François Bayrou. The president “awaits the proposals from the Prime Minister at the end of his consultations”the Elysée announced on Tuesday, December 17, as the new tenant of Matignon completed the reception of political forces with a view to forming his government. These proposals should not “necessarily” be “a proposal for complete government”the presidency told France Télévisions. On Monday, François Bayrou said he hoped to reveal the names of his ministers “this week”provided in particular that the situation in Mayotte allows it and that “the president be there”.

The parade of parties continues in Matignon. After the far right, the center, the socialists and the right, on Monday, the new Prime Minister receives the representatives of the Ecologists, the MoDem, Horizons, the independents of Liot, the communists and the ex-LR Eric Ciotti, now allied with the RN. National Assembly groups are received “in their order of importance” in number of deputies.
François Bayrou under fire from deputies. The Prime Minister will go to the National Assembly at 3 p.m., where he will answer questions from group presidents for 45 minutes. He will appear alone, since the ministers in place have all resigned and are therefore not authorized to participate in the exercise. Aged 73, he will discover a hemicycle undoubtedly more agitated than the one he experienced when he was deputy for Pyrénées-Atlantiques (2002-2012).
First controversy for the head of government. François Bayrou attracted strong criticism on Monday evening by choosing to go to Pau to attend the municipal council of his commune, rather than in Paris within the crisis unit devoted to the cyclone in Mayotte, a meeting that he followed from a distance. From the city of which he has been mayor for 10 years, he said he wanted to reverse the ban on multiple mandates for parliamentarians and confirmed his intention to remain at the head of the municipality.
