“It’s necessary” that Emmanuel Macron “quickly choose a Prime Minister”asks, on France Inter Monday August 5, Valérie Pécresse, president of Les Républicains in the Île-de-France region. Since the resignation of Gabriel Attal, on July 16, the President of the Republic has not appointed a new Prime Minister. It is therefore Gabriel Attal who is responsible for handling current affairs.
“If I had been elected President of the Republic, I would undoubtedly have chosen Xavier Bertrand” as Prime Minister, says Valérie Pécresse. “He is a very good candidate, against Lucie Castets, there is no match”she continues, criticizing the record of the New Popular Front candidate for mayor of Paris.
The president of the Île-de-France region believes that “the first political force in the National Assembly is the one that will ally itself with Renaissance”. According to her, “The right, to represent hope for the country, must remain independent” and must not become “Macron’s crutch”. The Republicans are “responsible”assures Valérie Pécresse. “When the country is really in trouble, we live up to our responsibilities, that’s what politics with a capital P is all about.”underlines the former presidential candidate.
