François Bayrou still occupies in Matignon, but all eyes have already resulted. If Marine Le Pen demands “an ultra developmental solution,” Emmanuel Macron could want to play the stability card and quickly designate a new prime minister after September 8 and the very likely failure of the vote of trust.
Among the names that return to happen, we find in particular Gérald Darmanin. Officially, the Minister of Justice, a member without suspending all governments since 2017, with the exception of three short months under Michel Barnier, is not interested. It is not at all “in this perspective,” said those around him for several days, pleading with his place of maintenance.
“Of course, he is a man who could be a rescue solution,” said Senator LR Stéphane Le Rudulier, one of his relatives, with BFMTV.
“It has real negotiation capabilities and that is exactly what we need,” he also supports a deputy who appreciates him. Among the assets of the former mayor of Tourcoing to become head of government, it is the argument that returns to Loop to his followers. To expect to complete the state and social security budget, the future tenant of Matignon will have to reach the Socialists, since François Bayrou had arrived last January and the LR.
The PS resolutely against
On the right side, there should hardly be traps, Gérald Darmanin after having made his classes there. On the socialist side, it stuck on the other hand.
“If it is the same budget as François Bayrou with the same orientations, it will not be,” says the deputy of PS Christine Pirès-Beaune.
The Minister of Justice, however, put the forms last Sunday. During his political school year, he wanted to address the PS welcoming “a great responsible opposition party.” Enough to convince Olivier Faure’s party and increase his chances of returning to Matignon?
“There is what PS is said in public and in reality. There is a time when they will have to do with the new prime minister if they want to give France a budget in autumn,” argues an elected macronist.
A good connoisseur of the budget but …
In the presidential camp, several elected officials even judge that the compatible or not, Gérald Darmanin has his very good knowledge of the budgetary problems in a particularly complicated economic context. The Minister of Public Accounts between 2017 and 2020, his supporters are able to amend to largely the budget copy of François Bayrou.
The minister begged for years the end of donations taxes and rejects any increase in taxes, even in the richest, to the point of crossing iron with Michel Barnier in the last budget of this file.
Here again, the former mayor of Tourcoing is not at all in the same wavelength as the socialists who claim them, a minimum assets on equity exceeding 100 million euros and defended by economist Gabriel Zucman. “Gérald Darmanin would be an invitation to censorship for oppositions,” acknowledges a macronist minister.
“We can twist the reality as we want, but if the shoulder rifle does not change, it does not happen with the PS,” shares a deputy of the common base that does not imagine the minister “to take the total opposite of our policy since 2017.”
Short
But this is perhaps the greatest force of Gérald Darmanin: continue embodying everything Emmanuel Macron has defended since his arrival at Elysée. The head of state appreciates it and did not hesitate to invite Brégançon this summer.
“He will probably want a malleable prime minister where he had the impression that Michel Barnier was taking too much and that François Bayrou was too slow. He can say that it is the case of Gérald Darmanin,” observes an elected macronista.
In case of arrival in Matignon, the flange is likely to be brief, how to ensure that macronist fundamentals and supply policy are not questioned. The diagnosis is shared by the attached public PS-Place Aurélien Rousseau.
“The central question is that of freedom that the future prime minister will have compared with the president, he entrusts us to former Gérald Darmanin colleague in the Elisabeth government. And I don’t see what freedom will have more than another.”
Last stranger in the equation: Is the current stamps guard ready to go to battle and may have to leave Matignon in a few weeks in case of censorship? “If you have presidential ambitions, it is not a golden trampoline. It is even a discomfort and the security of rolly”, so a macronista deputy of the LR warns him.
