Postponed several times, the appointment of the second part of the government should finally take place in the coming hours, a month after the arrival of new Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.
Around fifteen people are expected to complete the list of 14 ministers already appointed in January.
On Wednesday, MoDem boss François Bayrou announced that he had refused to join this government, speaking of a lack of “deep agreement on the policy to follow”.
“My support cannot be bargained for,” he said on franceinfo this Thursday.
According to our information, François Bayrou wanted for himself the title of minister of state and number two in the government, as well as four portfolios for members of the MoDem.
The full package was not accepted, which would have led to the High Commissioner's refusal of the plan.
Its rejection still destabilized the executive and risks further delaying the full appointment of the government. “What a mess,” said an advisor to the executive in our columns.
It weakens everything.
