Can your plan be balanced? Gérald Darmanin judged that “it is not unusual for someone who is not from our political family to head the government”, about the legend of the appointment to Matignon of Xavier Bertrand, in an interview with Figaro.

When asked if the Macronist camp is “ready” for the appointment of the LR president of the Hauts-de-France region to succeed Gabriel Attal, the outgoing Minister of the Interior replied: “I say that Xavier Bertrand has great powers. “There is one more fact: we did not win the legislative elections. It is not unusual for someone who is not from our political family to head the government,” he added.

“A circle ends”

Very satisfied with the security record of the Paris Olympic Games and its practice for four years in Place Beauvau, Gérald Darmanin argued that “In the interior, a cycle undoubtedly ends after the success of the Games”.

Will he resign before the Paralympic Games (August 28-September 8)? The person in question replied that the decision belongs to the head of state. “It is normal to install a new government after the elections,” he urged.

“The president must be elected but the governing bodies must also agree to govern. Sometimes we think that politicians don’t want to govern anymore because of the fear of problems,” he judged.

Regarding the second edition of his “Tourist meeting”, where he made his political comeback, he explained that “you have to be more passionate for your country than for yourself. This requires action but also ideas. ” This meeting, scheduled for September 15, will “try”, according to him, “to answer an important social question”.
