Francois Bayrou considered resuming a major position in the government immediately after his acquittal in the affair of the MoDem parliamentary assistants on Monday. In 2017, a month after his appointment as Minister of Justice, the centrist resigned after the opening of the preliminary investigation into these suspicions of embezzlement.
In November, the Court of Justice of the Republic (composed mainly of parliamentarians) exonerated the guard. This outcome confirms that politics does not have to submit to the injunctions of procedures.
