Where next?

Just think of what F. Holland and N. Sarkozy are getting every month for the rest of their lives.
Then all the special régimes .....
This is the country that likes to think of Egalité ...... or perhaps that some are more equal than others ....

Holland, Sarkozy but most of all Macron! He's 46. Say another 30 or 40 years, that's a fair chunk of the national economy that could be put to better use.

Francois Bayrou had lunch with Macron.

An omen? A precursor of rinse and repeat?

Waking up is difficult, also in France. On the same old road as ever, sleepy, easy to miss economic traffic signs: October 1967 and January 1981.

MMacron is apparently going to address the nation tonight

MMacron is apparently going to address the nation tonight

Yes, at 08:00 pm on Fr2.
But to say what?
It seems that, according to his close friends and against the expectations of the French, he is not going to say who will be the new PM.
What else?
- he will say good things about himself,
- he will say that everything that happened is the fault of the RN
- he will ask all parties to rally to his brilliant ideas
- he will ask all French people to approve his decisions without thinking because we are not capable of it and especially to agree to make sacrifices to save the country
- he will conclude by saying that the French must choose between him and chaos

Close but no cigar

[glazedallover]

What a load of old bolleaux.

[Blaze]

He didn't really say anything at all.
But as for that windbag Melenchon who wants 100% blame put on Macron, fortunately Gilles Bulot keeps reminding him of the constitution and the difference between the government and the president !
Sop we won't know for a while who the next PM will be ....

[niemeyjt]

'We need to reintroduce wisdom’, says Macron (from DT Translation)

Norman for PM?

Very close to what he said.
I can't understand twhe constant recycling in France (and the US) of old men in power. Bayrou has been around for ever, hovering on the heels of governmment and never quite getting ahead. He should retire back to his horse farm. And Larcher? Even older and greyer.
