It’s crazy as the dissolution really clarified everything! This second five -year period is definitely no other. The Attal government had not already lasted long, and now Michel Barnier is overthrown by a censorship motion three months after his appointment. François Bayrou is found in Matignon, but the crisis never ends, political life enters the unpublished.
Jordan Bardella, everything except the front
The ride in the court of Jordan Bardella with the right -handed ecosystem has escaped anyone at the national rally. The one who pleases the bosses, from Vincent Bolloré to the leaders of SMEs, does not seek his inspiration among the old frontist figures. When it comes to strategy, it is Nicolas Sarkozy that he invokes. And in terms of physique and wanderings, Jordan Bardella seeks to sing Jacques Chirac, you hadn’t noticed? So much so that in internal, some now describe it as “the perfect mix between Chirac and Sarko”. This should appeal to Marine Le Pen.
Freedom among the rebellious
Since you are told that you can think freely among the rebellious. In charge of the “information mission aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the policy of fighting drug trafficking”, the deputy LFI Antoine Léaument, in pairs with the macronist Ludovic Mendes, deepened the subject until “convincing” the relevance of the Portuguese example. For almost twenty years, Portugal has declined the detention and consumption of drugs in small quantities. A policy of the repression in force in France with recognized virtues: consumption levels are among the lowest in the European Union. The report of the two deputies therefore calls for “decriminalizing the simple use of narcotics by associating an ambitious policy of prevention of consumption and dependence care”. Antoine Léaument still told his comrades that it was a “personal” proposal, because the measure does not appear in the rebellious program, “the future in common”. And did not cause any tension! Proof, according to him, that the rebellious group is nothing of the caricature that we make of it …
Cyril Hanouna at France Inter?
For the past few weeks, managers, journalists and production assistants for the Maison de la Radio has been twisted: how to treat the closure of the C8 channel? The director of France Inter, Adèle Van Reeth recently had an idea … why not give an interview to Cyril Hanouna during the morning? Internally, the idea is not consensus, to say the least. Some animators of the tranche have been a bit reluctant to the idea of inviting the sulphurous host of Touche not at my postwho never ceases to castigate public service. They therefore bet on the refusal of the interested party who, to the latest news, would have given his agreement in principle …
Bruno Retailleau not free, really?
It is an argument developed by Laurent Wauquiez against Bruno Retailleau in their internal struggle for the presidency of the Republicans. The Minister of the Interior, a prisoner of government solidarity, would not have freedom of speech specific to any party leader. “He wants to show his freedom to be an opponent,” notes an LR minister, after the charge of the deputy of Haute-Loire against the appointment of Richard Ferrand to the Constitutional Council. A former macronist minister makes a contrasting opinion on this rhetoric: “It is a good argument, but which does not correspond to reality. This government was designed by François Bayrou to do nothing. In exchange, everyone has the power to say everything.” Advantages of immobility?
Edouard Philippe still awaits François Bayrou’s response
A few days after the appointment of François Bayrou in Matignon in December 2024, his predecessor Edouard Philippe sent him a letter (revealed by Franceinfo) in order to offer him a government contract. At the end of February, oh surprise, still no response from the new Prime Minister, notes the Le Havre councilor. Who, in front of his own, allows himself this remark: “François Bayrou who criticized when I was Prime Minister the fact that I do not organize meetings of party leaders … He did not organize one!” Long fresh relationships between the two men had warmed up during the 2022 campaign. The time for lunch in the sun.
