In the Assembly, François Bayrou faces an advanced equation to keep away from censorship | EUROtoday

The appointment of François Bayrou as prime minister didn’t essentially change the parliamentary state of affairs for the longer term authorities. Its fragile base within the National Assembly doesn’t permit it to be shielded from the danger of a brand new censorship, of the sort which swept away Michel Barnier’s crew, after solely three months at Matignon.

During the switch of energy together with his predecessor, Friday December 13, the president of MoDem didn’t provide any clarification as to his intentions on this matter. “It is urgent to get out of the game of political parties who pretend to want to govern,” he stated on August 18, in an interview with Figarocalling for respect “the logic of the V^e Republic: the executive power is independent of the legislative power ». Now in Matignon, can Mr. Bayrou avoid dealing with what he presents as blocking forces, if he hopes to have up to 289 deputies supporting him, the absolute majority in the National Assembly?

With a group of only 36 deputies, the new prime minister seems to be starting from an even more fragile position than that of Michel Barnier, from the Les Républicains (LR) party, with a group of 47 elected officials. Relations within the presidential coalition, made up of Renaissance, Horizons and therefore MoDem, are far from always harmonious. However, while Renaissance had provided support “without a blank check” to Michel Barnier within the hours following his appointment, Gabriel Attal’s social gathering this time prevented any warnings. The 163 seats within the central block – together with Renaissance, MoDem and Horizons – due to this fact seem like the minimal base on which François Bayrou can hope to rely.
