While France signed for the sale of twelve Rafales to Belgrade on the occasion of a state visit by Emmanuel Macron, the head of state spoke briefly about the absence of a Prime Minister, 45 days after the resignation of Gabriel Attal.

Will we finally have a Prime Minister next week? Even in Serbia, Emmanuel Macron remains haunted by national news, despite the signing of a three billion euro contract for the sale of twelve Rafales to Belgrade. The head of state spoke briefly about the absence of a Prime Minister, 45 days after the resignation of Gabriel Attal. The head of state refuses to reveal his thoughts, but tries to reassure the French.

“Believe me, I am making every effort, day and night, and I have been doing so for weeks, even if you have not necessarily seen it, to arrive at the best solution for the country,” he said on the sidelines of his trip. According to Emmanuel Macron’s entourage, an appointment should take place before next Monday.

Telegram boss’s arrest in question

Other French news: the arrest of Pavel Durov at Le Bourget, the boss of Telegram… Emmanuel Macron admits to having granted him French nationality, but denies any proximity: “As far as I am concerned, I was absolutely not aware of Mr. Durov’s arrival in France.”

“It is false that I had made any invitation whatsoever. It is totally false. I was not supposed to see Mr. Durov, neither at the end of last week nor in the days to come. I was not aware that he was going to arrive in France,” the president justified himself to journalists. The Russian billionaire was indicted and remains under judicial supervision.
