Search for a new Prime Minister: Xavier Bertrand tipped, opposition skeptical
(France 2)
Still no white smoke at the Elysée for the appointment of a Prime Minister…According to several sources, this Tuesday, September 3, the former minister Xavier Bertrand (LR) would be expected.
The suspense continues, Emmanuel Macron has still not appointed a Prime Minister this Tuesday, September 2nd…and this is felt by a good number of French people: “Yes, it is heavy. It weighs heavily on the country’s economy and on the population too.”says a passerby….For several weeks, there has been a waltz of rumors with each day a new name for a possible new head of government.
Yesterday, Monday, September 2, the Head of State received Bernard Cazeneuve (PS) and Xavier Bertrand (LR), two former ministers with very political profiles. The former LR deputy is said to be the president’s preference. Another scenario: a profile from civil society at Matignon like Thierry Beaudet, president of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council mentioned on Monday, September 2. The opposition, for its part, displayed its skepticism.
