A Confident Government, a Shaken Bayrou, and Answered Questions
Sacre Bleu: The French Presidential Election Podcast.Show Notes
Reporting from Mediapart about French Prime Minister François Bayrou’s knowledge of allegations of sexual assault at a private Catholic school in his backyard continue to pile up, as well as calls in the National Assembly for Bayrou to account for lying about that knowledge.
In the meantime, a no-confidence vote failed against the government over its passage of the social security financing bill. Neither the Socialist Party, nor the National Rally censored Bayrou’s government, so it’s hanging on for now.All that and more, on this episode of Flap24/7.
