Invited as a former president of a parliamentary group, Yvan Lachaud says he is "ready to help" the government's action.

Yvan Lachaud, former MP and former president of Agglo de Nîmes métropole, current Horizons referent for Gard, was one of the thirty or so political leaders invited to Matignon this Thursday, December 19, around François Bayrou. “I was invited as a former president of a political group in the National Assembly (in 2011-2012 for the New Centre), he explained to Midi Libre, at the end of this moment of exchanges. I congratulate the Prime Minister for holding this meeting.”

François Bayrou, “someone very open”

In addition to the discussions around the budget and pension reform, Prime Minister François Bayrou invited each party present to speak and answer the question of their possible participation in a government. If Horizons, the Modem or Renaissance clearly said “yes”, the left said “no”, “the Republicans did not speak clearly”, underlines Yvan Lachaud.

Yvan Lachaud has known François Bayrou for a long time. “I helped him when he was in National Education. He is a very open person, ready to talk with everyone. Today, given what the country is going through, it is high time to stop systematic confrontations. There is no point in creating blockages. Our fellow citizens want things to move forward”, explains Yvan Lachaud, citing the example of agriculture.

Yvan Lachaud is not, according to our information, expected to join the government and explains that he is not “a candidate for a position. But I am ready to help”, adds the former president of Nîmes Métropole.

François Bayrou will be a guest on France 2, this Thursday at 8:40 p.m.
