The one announced by Michel Barnier “is a neutral government, without heavyweights, whose meeting time appears limited to the summer”. Jean Pierre Darnis, professor at Luiss in Rome and at the University of Nice, comments in these terms with Adnkronos on the birth of the French leader more than three months after the first election that Emmanuel Macron called. The result of which – standing to the national Rassemblement thanks to the neutral agreement and the success of the left coalition – seems to have been ignored by the French President.
“The announced government is a smaller government – underlines Darnis – because it is a government made up of Macronists and representatives of the Republicans which did not expand the previous majority” with the external support of the RN. A government turned to the right, because “Marine Le Pen has given the front to Barnier, who has made it known for the time being that he does not want to censor it, so it should be until the summer”.
The unknown is what will happen in June, when it will be possible to release the National Assembly again: according to the French professor, author among other things of “Transalpini”, which will be presented tomorrow in Rome, at that point Jean’s Rn and Lfi Luc Melenchon “may have a common interest in expanding the government, but what will the rest of the left do?” Which combines in the character of Macron to give him a chance with Lucie Castets and for this reason there is no authority that is “certainly unbalanced to the right and causes some internal wounds to the left of the Macronists, who is born transversal”, is Darnis analysis.
Regarding the names of the ministers announced by Barnier, “there are no heavyweights: apart from Rachida Dati and Sebastian Lecornu who also reformed, for the most part they are young representatives who have worked well in Parliament but he doesn’t have government experience” , underlines the French Professor, observing how “the leaders of the parties are outside so that they don’t sleep in view of the next elections”.
And there is another thing that shows the weakness of the government, according to Darnis: “The Macronist bone may be more loyal to the President than Barnier, with the risk of competition between the part close to the outgoing Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, Who however, he want to go independent of the President and Prime Minister. “A political process, in short, that is more than precarious”, said the expert.
