The idea had barely been launched when it was immediately… curtly rejected.
Invited this Saturday March 19 from the 1 p.m. television news, on France 2, where she spoke in duplex from Arradon (Morbihan), Valérie Pécresse indulged in a few secrets about her dream government if she was elected president.
A five-star cast!
General Pierre de Villiers at La Défense, author Leïla Slimani, Prix Goncourt 2016, at La Francophonie and multi-medal-winning judoka Teddy Riner at Youth.
"Because I think that a certain number of these personalities would be extremely valuable skills for a government that I want to form as widely as possible, to restore its military sovereignty to France, to restore hope to young people and to make French the great cause of the five-year term, ”said presidential candidate LR, struggling in the polls.
" It does not interest me "
A nice shot on paper, and widely commented on in the process on social networks.
Except that the main stakeholders have never been associated with such an idea… and are even less seduced by the proposal.
"I was not aware of this announcement and I will not be Valérie Pécresse's Minister of Defense", confides to the Parisian Pierre de Villiers.
Same story for Leïla Slimani: “I was not warned, nor called, nor anything.
It does not interest me.
I want to write novels, not be a minister, ”she explains to our newspaper.
As for Teddy Riner, he simply burst out laughing when the news reached him.
Currently in intensive preparation for the 2024 Olympic Games, the judoka is in Brazil to "train for ground work", specifies his entourage, somewhat annoyed: "Obviously, he was not consulted, it is anything.
Teddy is a top athlete.
Preparing for the Olympic Games is something serious.
As a result, in Valérie Pécresse's team, it's a bit of an embarrassment.
“It was a spontaneous answer to a spontaneous question about the public figures she would like to have in her government, nothing more, as if she were answering a Proust questionnaire”, annoys a relative, speaking of “buzz disproportionate".
Confidence, desperate, of another lieutenant: “When it doesn't want… it doesn't want”.
