- Emmanuel Macron received Bernard Cazeneuve and Xavier Bertrand on Monday, two names often mentioned as candidates for Matignon. But it was a third, more unexpected name that emerged as a possible prime minister: the president of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (EESC), Thierry Beaudet, unknown to the general public. Emmanuel Macron already spoke with Beaudet last week during his institutional talks.
- At the EESC, “third bedroom” of the Republic after the Assembly and the Senate, responsible for giving life to participatory democracy, Thierry Beaudet oversaw the citizens’ convention on the end of life, often instituted by Emmanuel Macron as a model for new governance. But he has no parliamentary or political experience.
- Former Socialist President François Hollande, who “He advocated a political solution” According to his entourage, he was welcomed at the Elysée, just like his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, who would like a right-wing prime minister. The centrist François Bayrou, followed by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who resigned for forty-eight days, were received in turn to give their opinion.
- the president “continues its consultations”a relative told Agence France-Presse (AFP), and the hypothesis of a meeting with Matignon on Tuesday is not certain.
