A special charm can be found in times of political crises: they give rise to all rumors, hypotheses and conjectures. They are rarely – if not never – confirmed later, but reveal the state of mind, shed light on the situation. So, this outburst emitted by a macronist at the Paris political table: what if the President appoints François Baroine Matignon? Here is a brilliant idea!
The eternal young prodigy, or refuge, Arlesian on the right, always quoted and almost never winning due to lack of start to the race. We last spoke (profusely) about former minister Chirac, then Sarkozy, former boss of the influential French Mayors Association, when the Republicans were looking for a candidate to take on Emmanuel Macron in the 2022 presidential election.
Alas, the passionate hunter played evasiveness, convinced, according to a relative, that “his profile is too similar to that of the outgoing president” to be able to force him out of the Elysee Palace. But someone who has retired to his town hall in Troyes (Aube) and is now running a bank might not have abandoned all national ambitions…
Why would Macron make him his prime minister? Because, the political “strategist” says, it would be a way to expand their right-wing majority, get the support of LR sympathizers, if not tenors, so that the person has the image of a unifier and can throw Marine Le Pen’s Spectrum into 2027. Also, didn’t the president want to send LR Catherine Vautrin to Matignon before waving his hand at him in the face of the armor of the barons of An Marque? This (very) little music does not touch the ear of the person concerned, but proves two things: the disorder in the presidential camp, which lacks solutions, and the confiscation of the right in search of tenors.
