There is no advertisement, but yes many messages. Emmanuel Macron has opened a “new time of commitment” in France promoted by the left and the extreme right.
Without giving any clues about the chosen one, the French president has promised that “in the coming days” he will appoint a new prime minister and will form a Government “of general interest” that “represents all political forces of a governmental arch” with the commitment not to censor it.
A broad-spectrum Executive whose dimension he has not wanted to delimit. However, with the nuance “governmental arch” it could include socialist, centrist and traditional right-wing forceswithout going into extremes. From the Government that results in days it is clear the first step to takea budget law which must be approved “in mid-December” to come into force at the beginning of 2025. The same law that Barnier tried to approve via decree and that ended up costing him his job.
The eyes of the country and half the world were focused on the speech to the nation that the Elysée rushed to announce as soon as the motion against Barnier was confirmed. Harsh against those who made his ‘candidate’ fall, Macron has blamed on “the extreme right and the extreme left” have united “in a opposite to the Republic“.
For the head of state, behind the parliamentary maneuver there is only one interest, “the presidential elections,” in an attempt for “preparing and precipitate them“But there won’t be them until 2027, he stressed again, in five years.”
Likewise, he highlighted that “Ten months left” before being able to call new legislative elections”, so “no one can afford to wait.” Neither can he, aware of “my responsibility” in the current situation. “But I do not assume the irresponsibility of others“, he immediately clarified.
In the ten minutes that his message lasted there was time for a few words of thanks to Michel Barnierfor “having shown up to the moment when others have not been“. He has assured that he has been a victim of the maneuvers of parties that have “insulted their own voters.”
While waiting for their election, everyone assumes that it will be a short waiting period. At the moment, the range of names is expanding among members of his entourage, some recent former ministers, such as the head of defenseor a figure of increasing relevance, that of François Bayrou. Not in vain, this Thursday Macron has had lunch con the veteran centrist leader in a meeting that has ‘triggered’ rumors around the 73-year-old former presidential candidate.
