Francois Bayrou disconcerted his camp with an about-face on Wednesday. The mayor of Pau has indicated his refusal to join the new government of Gabriel Attal.
A manifest revolt which reshuffles the cards of the relative majority, made up of 51 precious MoDem deputies. For the boss of LR senators, Bruno Retailleau, François Bayrou's exit is akin to " a rupture" which marks " the end of Emmanuel Macron's five-year term" "Welcome to the opposition Mr. Bayrou," quipped Olivier Marleix on Franceinfo this Thursday.
