The essential
The candidates invested by the presidential majority in the legislative elections participate this Tuesday in a day of training.
On the left, the national secretary of the French Communist Party demands that Taha Bouhafs, sentenced at first instance for racial insult, not be invested by Nupes in the Rhône.
The candidate says "no longer manage" to "fight".
The government will remain in place at least until May 13, government spokesman Gabriel Attal said.
But no date has been announced for the appointment of the new team of ministers.
