” No automatic censorship, but no blank check “: this is what the group Together for the Republic promised to Michel Barnier after his appointment to Matignon. This rather unenthusiastic welcome aimed to show that the deputies of the presidential camp would not give unconditional support to the new Prime Minister and therefore to put pressure on him.
A pressure that Gabriel Attalthe new president of the group, also took care to mark the handover of power with his successor on the steps of Matignon, Thursday, September 5, by listing the files he had left on Michel Barnier’s desk, perhaps also with the hope that the new head of government would put them at the heart of his action. Among them: the priority given to schools and his proposals to de-micardize the France.

Macron’s left wing worried about government policy too far to the right
In the left wing of Macron’s party, the appointment of a Prime Minister from the Republicans is causing concern: that of seeing the government’s policy lean too far to the right so as not to provoke the censorship of the RN. The resigning Minister of Industry, Roland Lescure, did not fail to express this in an interview with the daily newspaper Release by stating: ” Our support cannot be taken for granted. ” Michel Barnier has therefore been warned: the presidential party also has demands on him.
