The Xavier Bertrand track at Matignon, Edouard Philippe in the running for 2027, local authorities facing the public deficit and pressure on Netanyahou… Franceinfo’s latest updates for Tuesday, September 3, 2024

Around Agathe Lambret and Jean-Rémi Baudot, the informed debate the news of Tuesday, September 3, 2024.

The themes

Xavier Bertrand, Prime Minister, a serious lead? Every day has its name and its lead that holds the rope. 56 days have passed since the second round of the legislative elections and France still does not have a prime minister. It is in this unprecedented context that former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announces his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election. Why now?

Public deficit, the fault of local authorities? The coffers are empty, the accounts are slipping and could slip even more, the government accuses local authorities of being too spendthrift. Whose fault is it?

Benjamin Netanyahu, facing increasing pressure from the street. Is this a turning point? What consequences could this have for Israeli policy and the course of the war in Gaza?
