“Our job is to make things easier for businesses,” said Antoine Armand, Minister of the Economy, during the handover of power at Bercy.

Former Socialist Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve will speak at the MoDem’s back-to-school event, which will take place from Friday 27 to Sunday 29 in Guidel, in Morbihan, Agence France-Presse learned from Cazeneuve and sources in the centrist party.

At the end of the legislative elections, Cazeneuve received the support of Matignon from many actors in the presidential camp, including the president of the MoDem, François Bayrou. The Socialist Party (PS), for its part, refused to grant unconditional support to its former member, opposed to the alliance with La France Insoumise (LFI), while Emmanuel Macron had ruled out the candidate of the New Popular Front, Lucie Castets.

The last prime minister of François Hollande’s presidency (2016-2017) was received by Emmanuel Macron at the Elysée on 2 September, three days before the presidential election to appoint Michel Barnier. “When we organize an election and the results are there, it is better to accept the election results and then let the government govern”“Cazeneuve told reporters a few hours before the announcement of the appointment of LR Michel Barnier to Matignon.

The former Minister of the Interior (2014-2016), who created his movement La Convention at the beginning of 2023, will also take part on Saturday in the political comeback of the president of the Occitanie region, the socialist Carole Delga, in Bram (Haute-Garonne). The latter is one of the tenors of the PS who opposes the alliance established between her party and LFI.
