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 François Bayrou is found in Matignon, but the crisis never ends, political life enters the unpublished.
Emmanuel Macron in Freemasons
On May 5, Emmanuel Macron will go to the Grand Lodge of France, spiritualist and secular obedience. A presidential way to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the 1905 law. The older French obedience, the GLDF is a particular character in the eyes of the Head of State since it was the Lodge of Colonel Arnaud Beltrame, killed in 2018 during a terrorist attack, but also that of the resistance fighter Hubert Germain, the last companion of the Liberation dead in 2021.
Lucie Castets – Raphaël Glucksmann dialogue
Lucie Castets and Raphaël Glucksmann get well, despite politics. They know how to laugh at their differences as their favorite dialogue proves. “Do you not bother you to attract all the PS right -handers?” Launches the ephemeral candidate of the NFP in Matignon to the European deputy. Who answers him: “And you, don’t you mind going for a melenchonist?”
Nicolas Sarkozy has a message for Emmanuel Macron
Nine candidates to succeed Didier Guillaume, who died in January, as Minister of State in Monaco, that is, the head of government of the Principality. Seven are French (including three prefects) and two Monegasques. Among the favorites: Frédéric Lefebvre, former Sarkozyst rallied to Emmanuel Macron, and the Chiraquien Frédéric de Saint-Sernin, former boss of Stade Rennais Football Club. Applicants cannot campaign, they are neither received nor auditioned. They only have to send a short CV of fifteen lines). Except that behind the scenes in Paris, it maneuver. Because the appointment never escapes the downstream of the Elysée. However, Nicolas Sarkozy strongly informed Emmanuel Macron’s entourage that if he supported the candidacy of Frédéric Lefebvre, the former president would take him as a very bad blow. And then, Prince Albert can choose the new owner of Pif Gadget ?
The meeting Bruno Retailleau – Eric Ciotti
As in the heyday. Bruno Retailleau received Eric Ciotti at the Ministry of the Interior in early March. This head-to-head interview was a first since the alliance established by the Niçois with the National Rally and his departure from the Republicans (LR). Officially, the meeting focused on the bill against drug trafficking, examined in the National Assembly. It has actually been a lot of politics. The tenant of Beauvau questioned the deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes on his partnership with the RN, and the economic positions of the party. There was also talk of the internal election for the Presidency of LR, to which Bruno Retailleau contributes. The content of the exchanges remains rather evasive here. On the right, the positioning of Eric Ciotti crystallizes the fantasies. What game will he play? What will the members of his UDR training do, still inserted at LR? Swear to him that he will not “mix” with the ballot. But prediction in a small committee a victory by Bruno Retailleau, in view of his media weight.
François Bayrou always young
The municipal elections will take place in March 2026 and one of the candidates should be called … François Bayrou. “He will represent himself in Pau, of course. He is a young mayor!”, Acknowledges one of his relatives. The Prime Minister, 73, was elected at the head of the city just over a decade in April 2014. The last head of government to have been a candidate for the municipal elections is called Edouard Philippe. Immediately re -elected in Le Havre, he had to leave Matignon.
Municipal 2026: Eric Ciotti and the UDR claim cities
Lyon, Dijon, Toulouse, Aix-en-Provence. The municipal elections are in more than a year, but for the Allied parties, the negotiations have already started. This is the case between the national rally and the UDR. Eric Ciotti’s emerging party has few illusions about his chances of unraveling during the election, but has already expressed a few inclinations with the troops of Marine Le Pen. Nice, obviously, which will be reserved for the former LR. And some large cities like Lyon, where Ciotti’s friends hope that a profile from the right will be able to capture an urban and bourgeois sociology.
