Now a columnist on BFMTV and RMC, Manuel Valls seems ready to return to a political career. In any case, this is the meaning of the statements he made this Sunday, January 16, on the set of BFMTV.
Less than 100 days before the presidential election, Manuel Valls intends to return to the front of the stage. Today columnist for BFMTV and RMC, the former minister of François Hollande, left for Barcelona to be a municipal councilor there, now seems to be considering his political future in France. “Governing again, I’m made for that, I like it, I have this passion. I am a politician through and through. he said on the set of BFMTV, Sunday, January 16.
Would he be looking for a candidate who would make him a minister again? He thinks anyway that his political background is a significant asset. “I am one of those who say that we do not use the experience of former Presidents of the Republic and Prime Ministers well enough” declares the one who held this position during the mandate of François Hollande.
The fight against Eric Zemmour
If he seems extremely motivated to govern again, it seems that he is not ready to put his experience at the service of all the candidates. And in particular Eric Zemmour. Indeed, he has just published with the Éditions de l’Observatoire a book entitled Zemmour, the anti-republican. In an interview with Le Parisien on January 9, he explained: “It is a slow poison that degrades democracy. We must denounce it, but also oppose it with another story and provide answers to the concerns of the French”. What about a collaboration with the current president, Emmanuel Macron? In an interview with Midi Libre last October, he said: “If I want to be listened to, which remains to be demonstrated, I must remain free. It’s not obviously not on the agenda” It remains to be seen whether this order has not changed since.
