Emmanuel Macron should soon announce the name of his new Prime Minister. A name circulates, that of Catherine Vautrin, a woman from the Republicans. For the MEP for the Republicans, François-Xavier Bellamy, guest of Europe Matin on Monday, “a climate of generalized corruption” is in place.
In recent weeks, the face of France has been turned upside down in view of the ministerial reshuffle and the legislative elections. Several names of female politicians have circulated in recent days to succeed Jean Castex as Prime Minister, such as that of Catherine Vautrin, a close friend of Nicolas Sarkozy. “In the world before, you wouldn’t have imagined that a right-wing deputy would go to the left because his camp had lost, that someone, all of a sudden, would decide to say the opposite of what ‘he explained for five years because there is a chance of finding a place in the sun”, launched the MEP Les Républicains, François-Xavier Bellamy on Europe 1.

On the one hand, a bloc with the National Rally, on the other a left-wing bloc now called the New Ecological and Solidarity Popular Union (NUPES), not to mention the macronist central bloc in which there are candidates from the left and the right. like the former Republican Éric Woerth. He “voted against all the budgets presented by the successive governments of Emmanuel Macron. I do not see how this situation can restore confidence in public life, in political life”, he exclaimed.
