IN BRIEF

• Emmanuel Macron received François Bayrou à the Élysée while the name of the new Prime Minister remains unknown.
• Franz-Olivier Giesbert criticizes the return of the party system and the current political confusion in France.
• Discover the behind-the-scenes of the appointment of the Prime Minister and the political tensions that result from it.

François Bayrou, will he be appointed Prime Minister??This morning, Emmanuel Macron received at the Élysée the mayor of Pau, former Minister of National Education between 1993 and 1997 and Minister of Justice in 2017 for a month. While the name of the Prime Minister is still not known, Apolline de Malherbe received columnist Franz-Olivier Giesbert on the BFMTV set.

“Politics… We're almost in a comedy film…”, he said before explaining: “Why ? It's the return, quite simply, of the party system. That's what we've experienced in recent times. We've already seen it a little before Michel Barnier's appointment, but then it was huge! That is to say that everyone comes with demands, wants ministries, etc. We have fallen back into the Fourth Republic under the Fifth Republic!”.

Franz-Olivier Giesbert: “It's a big scam, huh!”

Cash, the editorialist added: “We have entered into something completely different from what we have experienced since 1958, since the advent of the Fifth Republic. What we are experiencing is a bit historical!“. Apolline de Malherbe then estimated that we heard very little from the Macronists. “Who has recently heard Gabriel Attal, Gérald Darmanin ?”, she wondered.

“They are fighting among themselves!”, his guest replied, before developing the substance of his thought by declaring in a blunt manner: “They are on the phone, arguing, you know very well! The story of Roland Lescure (Renaissance vice-president of the Assembly), çit drove a large part of them crazy. And after that… It's the big scam huh!”. The journalist then repeated this last sentence before having a nervous laugh.

Franz-Olivier Giesbert: “He has pressure from all sides!”

Finally, the columnist clarified : “You saw what we fell into ? That is to say that it takes so many days to choose a Prime Minister… The French are not used to doing that. In addition, we have the feeling that the President of the Republic no longer has control, he is forced to discuss, to change… Under pressure! He has pressure from everywhere!”.

If Emmanuel Macron has received this morning François Bayrou, Jean-Yves Le Drian claims to have refused the post of Prime Minister. The day before, on the sidelines of a conference organized in Saint-Brieuc, he had declared: “I was offered it. But I refused. In two and a half years, I will be 80 years old, it would not be serious”.
