The big announcement came at the end of the day Monday December 23, 2024: Manuel Valls is part of the new Bayrou government.

“You are the worst of traitors”: Manuel Valls manhandled on France Inter by a listener, cut live
It was to be expected, the announcement of the new government has caused a lot of ink to flow… If Bruno Retailleau retains the Ministry of the Interior and that of Culture, the game of musical chairs has been applied to the others ministries. If Justice recovers and is in charge of national education (after having been removed from the post of Prime Minister), Manuel Valls returns to the government. After six years of absence and a vain attempt to break into Spain (where is from), the former Prime Minister of François Hollande becomes Minister of State for Overseas Territories in the Bayrou governmentwith key issues such as Mayotte and New Caledonia. A nomination widely commented on in recent hours.
Invited this Tuesday, December 24 in the Morning of France Inter hosted by Simon Le Baron during the holidays of and , Manuel Valls was manhandled by a listener. A sequence which quickly went around the Internet. Dissatisfied with the appointment of Manuel Valls, Jean-Noël did not fail to explain his thoughts…”I would like to tell Mr. Valls that he participated under Hollande in the destruction of the left, that he betrayed the PS and its candidate Benoît Hamon, that he went into exile in Spain and was thrown out. That he seeks to rally around Macron and was not elected“, the very upset listener first declared live.

But Jean-Noël didn’t stop there! “You should be ashamed, you are the worst traitor Mr. Valls. All of France is ashamed of your behavior, you are worse than a turd“, he continued before Simon Le Baron intervened: “Insults have no place on this channel. Furthermore, this was not the question that was planned since, as you know, there is filtering according to the France Inter standard.“
A situation which did not seem to particularly affect Manuel Valls who remained completely impassive…
During his appearance on France Inter, Manuel Valls made it known that his priority was to deal with the priority subject of Mayotte, ravaged ten days ago by Cyclone Chico. in addition to the national day of mourning. “The only thing I can tell you is that I will be at work in a few hours, after the transfer of power to the Ministry of Overseas Territories, with only one idea: reconstruction…“, confided the new Minister of State for Overseas Territories.
Regarding the criticism he is the subject of, Manuel Valls defended himself by declaring: “I like challenges, I like taking risks. You know, life is about successes and above all failures: we also learn a lot from that, with the necessary hindsight. I am generally struck by the climate of violence, of hostility towards political leaders, but sometimes also between French people, of insults… I did not come there to resolve political problems , I am here to take care of these overseas territories which need a fully committed government, a strong state and a republic everywhere.”
There is no doubt that he will have to face challenges, but it remains to be seen for how long…
