The highlight as trophies of François Bayrou, the ministers on the left seem inaudible. Since his arrival at the Government last winter, Manuel Valls, François Rebsamen and Juliette Méadel have been playing the letter of discretion.
Unable to find his place in a polarized team for the very right Bruno Retailleau of the interior? Will to avoid the blows of your ex-political family that does not always digest this return in grace?
“I am on the ground, there to improve the life of the French. You may not make the great press titles, but when I work in the abandonment of young people or the repair of elevators in low -cost homes, I judge that I am in my mission,” he defends the minister delegated to the city Julien Méadel with BFMTV.
“Les Gauche Brûlés” by François Hollande
The former Secretary of State before the victims of terrorism under François Hollande, who multiplied the sets during the entire period of five years between 2012 and 2017, returned to the national scene along with François Rebsamen, former Minister of Labor and Long Intimate of the former head of state.
All accompanied by former Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who has regularly made service offers in recent years to return to the government.
But if these three figures have been members of the PS, they have been breaking with their political family for years by gathering Macronie, with several fortunes.
“There is one side of reconstruction of the dissolved league. He took people after François Hollande, there is a package, but then there, we were raised,” said a socialist deputy.
“Nothing to do” with his colleague from Bercy
Meanwhile, his return to the government has allowed François Bayrou to show a government capable of speaking to the right as to the left, a-capital element for their political survival and buying the clemency of the socialists in the National Assembly.
But less than François Rebsamen or Manuel Valls, is Éric Lombard, the Minister of the Economy, intimate of Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the PS, who managed to conclude a non -censorship agreement last January.
The maneuver allowed the prime minister to have the state and social security budget adopted after the fall of Michel Barnier a few weeks before.
“Iric Lombard is not considered a traitor because Emmanuel Macron has not joined and because he never had policy so far. He has nothing to have with them,” says a ministerial advisor.
Discrete negotiators
However, within the trio, we appreciate that, without having directly negotiated the budget, the small band played the facilitator role by putting some oil in the gears.
“They were benevolent observers, they made calls without playing a crucial role,” Trivialized PS Jérôme Groedj, who negotiated with Éric Lombard. “We will never need them if we want to talk with François Bayrou,” he insists.
“Can you presume to work behind the scene or regret on the ministerial arbitrations, but specifically how do a government influence both?” Ask the deputy of PS Laurent Baumel.
“Past age” of the ministries in sight
In their camp, everyone obviously insists on their work. Juliette Méadel can boast the organization of an interministerial committee on the city’s policy in May, after a year and a half of absence, to the disgust of local elected officials. Manuel Valls tries to calm the crises that cross abroad, in a perfect relative so far.
“There are probably more mini -sight than mine, but I have passed the age of all this and today, I only have one wish, it is to be useful,” Judges François Rebsamen, in charge of local authorities.
But all are discreet in their possible distance from the words of Bruno Retilleau, his colleague inside, hated from the left or the guardian of the Seals Gérald Darmanin.
“They did not come to make the macronists to the left. Therefore, you have to love them and I think that is not the case. And then, you have to have troops that support you. And there, good luck,” says a deputy of the Renaissance.
“Fear of its shadow”
With the exception of Elisabeth, born of the ranks of the left, strong of her weight as a former prime minister and Jeanoël Barrot that represents the powerful Quai d’Orsay, no member of the Government dared to publicly distancing himself from Bruno Retailleau.
“At one point, I thought Bayrou had thought about them that they went from the media to defend it. Bajo Holland, we only saw them when we turned on television. It is as if their desert crossing had cut the sound, even after their return,” observes a macronist deputy.
“Macronie is intrinsically to the right. Being on the left is not possible with this government, simply,” Claws, the president of the Senators of PS, Patrick Kanner, Minister of François Hollande.
Pilot fish for municipal
It should be said that the only time Manuel Valls has left his ultra marine archives since his return to the government, the former prime minister put his feet on the carpet.
During an interview in Europe 1-CNews, the former socialist judged that the anti-Semitism that occurred “mainly from the Arab-Muslman world.” The prayer shocked to the left and two environmental deputies indicated that they take over justice for “hatred incitement.”
However, the band of the three would look good in pilot fish for the next municipal elections. With rebel France in ambush, some socialists fear defeat, those who still have a third of the largest French cities. What can be to push them to establish local chords in the field with Macronie that has never managed to anchor locally.
François Rebsamen is experiencing an area on the subject. Already in 2008, the mayor of Dijon delivered local alliances with the modem. As for Juliette Méadel, she has multiplied the meetings in recent weeks with the mayors of the great socialist municipalities, she, who could become mayor of Montuge (Hauts-de-Seine) while holding her ministry next March.
“Frankly, we can all fall so much at any time that everyone takes. They are not different from others,” he judges a ministerial advisor. Which pushes them to savor their return in grace.
