FRANCE: MoDem's Bayrou Lunches w/Macron After Barnier Gov't Ousted

Francois Bayrou, leader of the centrist MoDem party, is set to have lunch with President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace amid speculation about who could succeed Michel Barnier as prime minister. Bayrou has been a close ally of Macron since his first run for the presidency in 2017, and MoDem has sat in alliance with Macron's En Marche and Renaissance parties during both of his terms in office. 

  • Le Parisien: "“[Bayrou] is in the running,” confirms a Renaissance executive, immediately smiling: “In any case, he is still in the running.” Alongside Emmanuel Macron from the beginning, François Bayrou has nonetheless made his own voice heard when he disagreed with the head of state’s policy. He also maintains peaceful relations with Marine Le Pen."
  • Earlier, Macron met with President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet (who hails from Renaissance) and after lunch with Bayrou will talk to the President of the Senate Gerald Larcher from the conservative Les Republicains (LR).
  • A Bayrou gov't could look to bring the centre-left Socialist Party (PS) in alongside the centrist Ensemble alliance and LR, with the perennial presidential candidate holding better relations with the centre-left than Barnier. However, it would require a breakdown of the left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) alliance that led the charge for the ouster of Barnier. PS First Sec Olivier Faure has said he is willing to talk compromises but it remains to be seen whether PS would back a Macron-supporting gov't.
