Michel Barnier: a first trip under high surveillance
(Franceinfo)
Appointed just two days ago, the new Prime Minister, Michel Barnier, made his first trip to the Necker hospital in Paris on Saturday, September 7. A first trip under high surveillance. Explanations.
Two days after his appointment, the first visit of the new Prime Minister took place at the Necker Hospital in Paris. A symbolic choice to affirm that health will be a priority for the government. He claims to be a negotiator and uses a language of truth: “What interests me is the daily work, we are not going to perform miracles”he explains. Michel Barnier is also continuing his consultations, in particular with the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet. The Assembly, a place where everything will be decided for the new head of government.
Michel Barnier has a reduced relative majority with the presidential camp, the Republican right and the Liot group in the center…235 deputies far from the 289 to constitute an absolute majority. If the RN decided to form an alliance with the left, the Prime Minister would fall. Jordan Bardella also poses as an arbiter without complexes. “Mr Barnier is under democratic surveillance of a political party which is now unavoidable”Michel Barnier retorted: “I I am under the surveillance of the French”.
