New Prime Minister: four men for one seat
New Prime Minister: four men for one seat
(franceinfo)
This Wednesday, September 4, marks the 50th day in a row without a government. The name of the future Prime Minister is hanging on the decision of Emmanuel Macron, who is still hesitating between four more or less experienced candidates for the post.
Since the start of the school year, candidacies for the post of Prime Minister have been coming one after another, without success. On Wednesday, September 4, two men are the favorites for the head of state. On one side, the Republican Xavier Bertrand, president of the Hauts-de-France regional council. On the other, the socialist Bernard Cazeneuve, who already held the post under François Hollande. But in the event of an appointment to Matignon, both candidates will face motions of censure.
Faced with the risk of censorship, the Élysée is also considering two other names. The first is that of David Lisnard, president of the association of mayors of France and current mayor of the city of Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes). The Republican lacks government experience unlike Michel Barnier. The former Minister of Foreign Affairs and former European Commissioner is reshuffling the cards at Matignon
