A new Prime Minister, the left has its shared program and the Peyrat affair… The “Recap” of May 20

After a long wait, Emmanuel Macron has finally appointed a Prime Minister and a government. For only the second time in history, the government of France will be headed by a woman, Elisabeth Borne. She did not fail to underline this during her transfer of power with Jean Castex. This is the first point of this 19th legislative “Recap” of 20 minutes on video.

It is therefore Elisabeth Borne who should lead the legislative campaign of the outgoing majority. Opposite, the left, united in the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes) is in working order. Thursday, the meeting of insubordinate France, Europe-Ecology – The Greens, the Socialist Party and the French Communist Party presented their “shared program” of government that they intend to apply in the event of victory in the legislative elections… A victory which remains unlikely to this day.

Finally, the legislative campaign is already marked by cases. This week, under pressure, the candidacy of macronist Jérôme Peyrat, in Dordogne, had to be withdrawn. This former Chiraquian, close to Emmanuel Macron, has indeed been convicted of domestic violence. This was a stain, after the majority sharply criticized the management by the left of the Taha Bouhafs case. The journalist was to be a candidate for LFI in the Rhône, but was finally “disconnected” after internal accusations of sexual violence and rape.
