Emmanuel Macron will not meet the promised deadline: the prime minister will finally be appointed on Friday morning, a sign of the difficulty of finding a personality likely to outlast the short-lived Michel Barnier and the adoption of a budget, in a landscape politically broken. .
Ultimately, the choice will be more tough than expected.
“Thay are in the trap”, there is a “barrage for every name”, laments someone close to Emmanuel Macron. “No one is in the same mind about the president,” he says,hoping that the latter will surprise everyone with an unexpected profile.
In what name to extricate the country from an unprecedented political crisis? François Bayrou, the central central ally who always wants to spend his time and this time you prefer? Or Bernard Cazeneuve, to reward the promises made by the Socialist Party, which had some deputies, including former president François Hollande, hired the former prime minister at the last minute ?
Unlike those two terms, the Head of State prefers a head of staff unknown to the French.
Parliamentary sources confirmed that the name of this social liberal deputy of the French established in North America, who had criticized the weight of Marine Le Pen’s party when the Barnier goverment was born, was indeed on the table.
taking the hypothesis “seriously”, the entourage of the outgoing Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, warned that it would be a “big problem” for his party, Les Républicains (CD), because there is a “back line back” by Roland Lescure. immigration.
“Non-censorship agreement”
the president has tried to ensure in the last few days that the future executive would benefit from a “non-censorship agreement” especially from the Socialist Party, or even the Scientists.
François Bayrou has long proposed to the Head of State a government of tenors who would be able to convince enough delegates, without waiting for a formal agreement between the leaders of the parties.
The first secretary of the PS olivier Faure publicly rejected the choice of bayrou on Wednesday, pleading with the left-wing prime minister.
“The French need a bit of enthusiasm, momentum, breath, something new,” the boss of the Ecologist Marine Tondelier sent on France 2 on Thursday, asking Emmanuel macron to “get out of his comfort zone”.
On the right wing of the macronie, we would prefer the irreplaceable Minister of the Armed Forces Sébastien Lecornu, very close to the president, or his colleague Catherine Vautrin.
Some also fear that LR, having participated in the Barnier incident, will shy away from a more prominent left-wing government.
The shadow of Sarkozy
In any case,there is an emergency. The fall of Michel Barnier,overthrown by deputies during a censorship unprecedented as 1962,leaves the country without a budget for 2025.
A special bill to avoid paralysis of the State was presented to the Council of Ministers on Wednesday and begins its express parliamentary journey which should be allowed to be adopted next week. But it does not allow the renewal of many old or new provisions that are favorable to French people and businesses.
