These parliamentarians who are getting annoyed by the absence of a new Prime Minister

After the hypothesis of the president of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, Thierry Beaudet, it is the hypothesis of Xavier Bertrand which is coming back insistently on Tuesday September 3 to replace Gabriel Attal at Matignon.

And this is starting to seriously irritate parliamentarians. And some of them are no longer hesitant to show it publicly. “When I think that the Macronists were making fun of us when it took us two weeks to agree on a name for Matignon…” ironize Communist Senator Ian Brossat, Tuesday September 3 on X.

For several days, the deputies of the New Popular Front have been denouncing in chorus an autocratic drift of the president. Like the socialist Arthur Delaporte: “We are angry and worried because while there is no government, the situation in the country is deteriorating and there is a need for emergency measures, he considers. And then, moreover, as long as the President of the Republic does not make a decision, he shows his weakness, his isolation and that weakens us collectively.”

On the far right, the National Rally is urging Emmanuel Macron to accept the opening of an extraordinary session so that the deputies can get to work without delay. In the ranks of the majority, the little game of consultations is getting out of hand. “It feels like theater, comments Richard Ramos, Modem MP. We have the impression that we are bringing in party leaders who pretend and that we are in the process of inventing the Republic of pretending, that is to say as if things were already done. But we are not saying it yet. So we are doing theater, we are bringing in people, actors who come in, who go out.”

The Elysée Palace has not committed to any timetable. The appointment of the Prime Minister would be “maybe for tonight but not sure”.
