The main nonsubjective of François Bayrou is to make a "government of public interest", as broad as possible, despite the political crisis. A government that will last not 3 but 30 months until the 2027 presidential election. This tireless defender of overcoming divisions between the right and the left must find a way and go to any compromise to stabilize the country just a week after the unprecedented, since 1962, a vote of distrust for the government.
On 10 December, during a gathering at the Elysée Palace, to which Emmanuel Macron invited the leaders of all parties, with the exception of Clementine France (La France Insoumise, LFI) and the Le Pen clan, François Bayrou proposed a political pact. The parties will not effort to overthrow the government, and this in return will not usage the infamous Article 49.3 of the Constitution (allowing the "pushing" of laws without Parliament's consent). He besides proposed to work first on subjects that do not origin controversy, specified as education, and only later to address more problematic issues specified as pensions and immigration.
However, the president needed as many as 3 meetings and more than 48 hours as expected to make a decision, even though both politicians have been allies for a long time. In 2017, Bayrou resigned from moving for president and supported Macron. Today, the founder and head of the MoDem group hopes that he will win in helping the president again, this time saving his second word in the face of a crisis situation. First of all, it must guarantee that France has a budget for 2025 as shortly as possible, despite the limited possibilities resulting from the deterioration of public finances. In Parliament, he would like to unite the left (except the LFI) for his pro-European and socio-reformist line. The Christian politician besides intends to appease Marine Le Pen. The erstwhile head of the National Assembly has always felt respected in their contacts. She did not forget that in the name of pluralism he gave her support during the 2022 presidential election and criticized the proposal to ban her from political function.
Since the unexpected dissolution of Parliament on June 9, which he described as “ununderstandable in the eyes of the French”, Bayrou believes that he can play the function of a provident statesman who will unite the political scene and enter into dialog with various social groups. The fresh head of government has had a 40-year political career, including 3 presidential campaigns. He was already a councillor, president of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques Department Council, associate of the European Parliament and yet Mayor of Pau since 2014. He besides served as Minister of Justice in 2017, but remained in office only 37 days due to the scandal with fictional positions in the European Parliament.
François Bayrou emphasizes that you cannot regulation against the nation. It believes that reforms can be implemented without losing public support – says Patrick Mignola, his deputy at MoDem. The fresh Prime Minister wants to act at an express pace. He announced to his colleagues that he planned to rapidly – preferably by Monday – form the first version of the government, and that next week he would adopt a peculiar bill that would let a temporary solution to the most pressing problem: the issue of public finances until the adoption of the budget, in order to avoid complete paralysis of the state.
