“There will be no a priori censorship” | EUROtoday

In December 2023, when rumors unfold of a substitute for Elisabeth Borne at Matignon, Marine Le Pen’s advisor, Philippe Olivier, confided his choice: “In these cases, you need someone very political, consensual and respected. The profile is François Bayrou: he has good relationships with everyone, he would be able to maneuver. » A year later, the far right got their wish: the centrist they hated the least was named head of government, and they promised to give him a chance. Perhaps even until the summer of 2025, when legislative elections can be called again.

After taking part (with the left) within the fall of Michel Barnier’s authorities on December 4, the National Rally (RN) appears able to grant a reprieve to that of Mr. Bayrou. “There will be no a priori censorship”stated the president of the Lepéniste get together, Jordan Bardella, Friday December 13, after the announcement of the centrist’s appointment to Matignon. “Our red lines remain, they will not vary”he stated, calling on the brand new head of presidency to “take into consideration”. “No reimbursement of medicines, do not weaken the economic and social situation of retirees”he recalled.

At the time, each collectively denounced the “UMPS” – the contraction of UMP (the previous identify of the Les Républicains get together) and PS (for Socialist Party) – within the hope of creating their solution to the second spherical. Both then campaigned on public morality and French manufacturing. One needs to be a bridge between proper and left, the opposite, conversely, neither proper nor left. The two will neutralize one another.
