If the French have not been interviewed by referendum since 2005, this does not prevent several political leaders from regularly offering consultations of this type. The last to try it? François Bayrou, who has not been his first attempt since his arrival in Matignon.
The issue of referendum sought by the Prime Minister: the establishment of proportional, a measure that has defended for years but is far from being unanimous in the field of government, LR and horizons against.
“It is the French who must choose,” said François Bayrou, extensively interviewed by LCI this Thursday, July 10, recalling, however, that this decision depends on the President of the Republic.
“Confession to the French”
“This is an issue that has poisoned political life for decades for decades. An issue that we never agreed,” he said, added: “My point of view is quite simple: to trust the French. Do everyone have to be represented or should crush others?”
Of the SET BFMTV-RMC, on May 27, the Head of Government had assured that he would offer agents to govern about the establishment of legislative elections.
A position repeated on June 29 in the issuance of the Grand Jury in the Senat-Senat-Le-Figaro of RTL-Public, when it promised a text by the end of 2025 after the examination of the budgetary bills. In advance, François Bayrou had begun a series of consultations with the various political forces on April 30.
Several questions arise. Will you have time to go to the end of your ambition? Nothing is safe, while oppositions threaten precisely to censor it in the budget. In addition, with respect to the referendum, what will the Oysée say? When he proposed, on May 3, that the French were consulted on “a general plan to reduce deficits”, François Bayrou had not been followed.
