François Bayrou’s Coverup, and the 2027 Election
Sacre Bleu: The French Presidential Election Podcast.Show Notes
François Bayrou is confronted on the floor of the National Assembly over allegations that he didn’t protect students who were abused, physically and sexually, for decades at the private Catholic school where his wife taught. Bayrou denies any knowledge of the allegations, and says he’s be suing Mediapart, who reported on the case last week.
And Gérald Darmanin, the hard-line Justice Minister, wants to avoid a Le Pen-Mélenchon runoff in 2027. He says the way to avoid that is a primary for the governmental camp, which could include the hard-line Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau entering the contest.
All that and more, on today’s episode of Flep24/7.
