It’s crazy how the dissolution really clarified everything! This second five-year term is definitely like no other. The Attal government had already not lasted long, and now Michel Barnier is overthrown by a motion of censure three months after his appointment. The crisis is never-ending, political life is entering a new era.
The RN, the right and the turkey
The right’s ears are ringing at the moment. And the wind comes from the National Rally. Confined to the marginality of negotiations since the no-confidence vote, the far-right party took the opportunity to reconnect with its populist fiber. And the supporters of this strategy are taking the opportunity to once again attack the bourgeois right, which has been rather pampered in recent months. “The bourgeois right weighs nothing, says a deputy. I take them for the demographic reality that they are: that is to say nothing. The big bourgeois are both very noisy and few in number. We should that I am thinking of an animal metaphor, a sort of big solitary turkey…” The comparison should please the members of the Business Chinese Club, where Jordan Bardella is invited this Friday, December 13.
Bruno Retailleau casts a wide net…
“It’s square!” : Bruno Retailleau seduces even Renaissance ministers from the left, like Agnès Pannier-Runachier. The EPR deputies also appreciate the Minister of the Interior: “He treats us very well, when we ask a question, he always answers us, this is far from being the case for everyone.”
…until Cyril Hanouna
The Minister of the Interior received the turbulent host of Europe 1 in Beauvau on Friday December 6. If their mutual love at first sight was not obvious, it nevertheless took place, Bruno Retailleau deeming Cyril Hanouna’s diagnosis of French society very relevant. The latter also seemed won over by the ideas and firmness displayed by the minister. Also on the agenda: a future interview with the tenant of Beauvau.
Redesign and surprise bag
The reshuffles are no longer what they were: even the ministers who carry them out are not at the end of their surprises. One of them remembers the creation of the Barnier team in September: “We call you individually to offer you a position. At one point, the light comes on and there, you discover who your new ones are friends!” This is how certain members of Renaissance found themselves next to LR elected officials whom they had fought for a long time…
Frying on the rebellious line
Critics are rare at LFI, especially since Jean-Luc Mélenchon decided, this summer, to cut off the heads of François Ruffin, Clémentine Autain, Alexis Corbière and Raquel Garrido (the famous purged). But the all-out strategy towards the presidential election of the leader and his chaouchs does not please all the LFI deputies who are worried about the risk of a breakup of the New Popular Front. An anxiety that is all the greater as the socialists, who have decided to discuss with Emmanuel Macron at the Elysée, suffer the wrath of the LFI leaders. “Yes, the socialists need us, but we must not forget that we need them too”, was alarmed by a rebel during a meeting in the presence of the leadership of Mélenchon’s movement. Silence in the ranks.
Edouard Balladur puts them all in agreement
Edouard Balladur convinced the Council of State to name his library “Georges Pompidou”. The unanimous vote took place in the presence of Michel Barnier, Laurent Fabius, Edouard Philippe, Alain Juppé and under the chairmanship of the vice-president of the Council of State, Didier Roland Tabuteau.
