“I would have liked there to be representatives of the Socialist Party (…) or elected officials with a left-wing leaning,” confides Agnès Pannier-Runacher.

Invited to the show “C à vous” on France 5 on Monday September 23, the new Minister for Ecological Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, commented on the very right-wing composition of the government recently formed by the Prime Minister, Michel Barnier. “I would have liked there to be representatives of the Socialist Party. I would have liked there to be local elected officials who were left-wing,” she assured, before highlighting the appointment of Didier Migaud to Justice.

“Those who are outraged today are the same as those who refused to join the government”she nevertheless declared. For the minister, who recalls having voted socialist “several years” Before joining Emmanuel Macron and his En Marche party, the left has “excluded itself from the political game (…), first by preventing Bernard Cazeneuve from being Prime Minister and then by refusing all the proposals that were made to them”she criticized.
