jerry loan, she venue ok to firms with health, but now face flows that keep them from retiring with the families back home. the she by these bits of bread on just the he's known as misuse rec states. and now he's prompts is the prime minister. we shall bonnie a faces the challenge of fixing the countries put her eyes for this for landscape. is that something we can achieve? and why is appointment causes so much controversy in front of this is inside school . the hello again on james bass. prompts isn't political turmoil of the month. so deadlock, present and manual macro is appointed. a new prime minister, a member of the republicans. michelle bonnie is 73 years old and was the european

commissions chief negotiator and talks with britain. but it's departure from the you. but my call is the appointment of a right wing politician has infuriated those on the left, sparking widespread protest. they say the left is the lines one of the most votes in the 2nd round of the snack collections in july, and along with french voters. they deserve a prime minister. who reflects that result. the country is facing pressure on several fronts, as the government fails to keep within deficit limits and rich agreements on its budget. so will the slightest controversy the rail, those efforts, and how will macro and bunny and navigate this new political landscape. we'll explore all of this with a guest who joined us in just a moment, but 1st this report from katya lucas holiday on these into the job. francis knew prime minister is already facing push back with 40 years in french and european politics. sheltered me. it is the conservative who was also the european

commissions top brooks it negotiator. he's now been appointed by president them on. we're not going to lead a new government and, and weeks of political deadlock. you always see this new chapter. they will be change and breaks from the past. it will be a need to listen and for respect respects between the governments and power and respect for old political designs. but politicians on the left are furious. the left when the lions lived by the new popular front one most seats in july and the 2nd round of snap elections. but president mccomb refused to a point of prime minister from its ranks and assisting a left when government would fail to form a majority with the right wing leading parliament. the love says that betrayal it makes you look at the verdict, and so the election has been stolen from the french people. the message of the

people has been denied. and now we're finding out about a prime minister that was named with the permission and may be on the suggestion of the fall rights and national riley. the fluoride has suggested it's willing to work with the new prime minister, but his appointment is highlighting divisions. frances and national assembly is made up of 3 blocks, the left and hard, left centrist and popular. right. and none has the majority loss in front of it that it's a 1st step and one we've been waiting for. now we can move forward, even though it seems the situation will likely be challenging until the next presidential election. president mccomb is facing pressure on different fronts. frances, facing a worsening deficit, and the government must reach an agreement on its budget and submit it to parliament by october. the 1st i think what's important now is to gather together around one set of policies. the turmoil account is hoping the

73 year old prime minister will manage to push through decisions and avoid further crises and further political deadlock patsy a little bit. so the again alj a 0 for insights story. well that's bringing a puddle of guests today to discuss all of this further in sun malo jacked right now is senior research fellow with the global policy institute in london. rainbow murray, professor of politics at queen mary university of london, is a specialist in french politics. and in power as the female historian and political generalist, welcome to all of you, and thank you for joining us on today's inside story. so if prompts has gone from the youngest, probably minnesota, and it's bolden history, gabriela, tall, who was with what he was. the point to the beginning of the year was $34.00. he resigned in july, but stayed on an acad, take a capacity. and now i'm more than twice his age. michel bonnie,

is the new prime minister dear, can i start with? you will go into all the political detail in a moment, but you will, they're in power. so i want to get them news in paris. how people are responding to this. we hear, they're all big protests taking place. are there any people who are in seems the aspect to think this isn't? it's in small choice. hi, thanks for having me. yes, i've just come from the protests of a 1000 of us. the lot of people there and the overwhelming mood seems to be now angry or appointments and quite a bit of confusion. i think we'll see in the next hour, actually how many people product to this protest in paris and across the country. i think some people are necessarily teased. i think, you know, the republican party getting to see one of this historic members become pm, even while they last have thursdays must be quite pleased. and you know, for the sake of stability, i guess it's what my call was

a need for. we after 5 weeks of uncertainty, we do have a prime minister and we can move on to the next steps. so i show you the assembly which has to budget must be somewhat pleased rainbow when he took the job and was standing the at these 1st encounter with the press. bonnie: i said we are at a grave moment. is this the biggest test of his career? yes, and this is a man who has faced a number of tests. so he's not new to managing conflict in difficult situations, but he's coming into a country that is very divided. that has found it almost impossible to achieve any kind of consensus. the space with the mom as task of guessing groups who consistently have refused to work together to form enough stability to get government working to get a budget passed to try and see the country through until the next best of elections

. and so he's, he's definitely got his work cuts out. start. tell us a little bit more about michelle bonnie: a because he's been around we talked about the previous probably minister being the youngest, but michel bonnie, a 1978 was at the time prompts his youngest m p a. that was at the age of 2017 mazda minded frances winter olympics. in 1992. he's been various different political jobs, including for a year. he was present, jack, she likes foreign minister, but most of his recent look has not been on the french stage. it's been on the european stage. i mean, it distinguish couldn't career, but as he is he a household name in front? what's been the reaction to his appointment? a beginner. how's your name? the transfer breaks it before the bus away? no, i'm pretty sure, but you never stood out even to black in colorado. we know it's like complete job. he's got a good carrier installed at the local level or he'd be can may have original guns

that a that's it. and be center at the maternity go to his job and do your gun commission as negotiate different breaks it. it shows just one thing that appeals to the people and about here is the amount of consensus is quite amazing that it is 151 year old galleria is but many enemies of this. but this is barbara, is virtual disability, j to trade, to consensus, to negotiate his experience and during your good commission in your, in europe, you have to negotiate as we break said, they will, should, i think was a british was only tough jump. so i think that improved is mid door. that's a good me tough or so. so i think this is a pretty good choice for my call was seemed to be either not attractive or situation always these rare, but it was able to gather my jewelry, g o, at least not to be put down. brought down on the 1st boat. i think you felt it,

i think is the right man in the right place at the right time, because people are french people. they won't be me. the good part of the most russian today because they were fed up with the way to they locked the, the decision that was a 2 months since the election and now is a sense of ruiz and this man is not so big someone controversial. so it might be able to do the job, at least get the majority environment as uh, the budget, which is the main is main role is main image of the task. and of course there are many challenges ahead. they'll discuss those in a moment. but as i've got 3 ex books on french politics, let's just look 1st how we adults. yeah. let's take it stage by stage because i think it's certainly not the statement to say, but the law has happened in french politics in recent months. then let's go back to june the 9th of the european elections because that's where this stage of french

politics i think starts. tell us what happened and how disappointing that night was for president macro. yes, a june 9. we got the results american election and his parties done quite pearly and not only that of the national rally for international funds is on very, very well. and so to the surprise of many, he calls for the solution of the national assembly, which has been done since the ninety's for other people. my age was uh, unprecedented. um. and so that sort of took everyone by surprise and other things were sort of made up in the moment the new popular funds to the new less thing alliance was made up in the matter of days to try and send as much of the majority as possible. to the national assembly, but i think that's fine, but i think everyone by surprise is sort of seen in the results. you know, the ok,

that's what i'm going to stop you there and, and let right by pick up the story. so we move to these not parliamentary elections, 2 rounds of voting. the last one on the 7th of july. yes, and the goal of this election was to provide some clarity because i'm in the media optimal of my full 3 and action. he ended up with a hung parliament one where his policy didn't have a majority. so the idea was to try and reset french politics to have some clarity about which party could come onto maturity. and the outcome was the opposite. the parliament became even more divided between 3 blocks of almost equal power. so one called a left and hawk left one in the center on one controllers primarily of the far right unknown, was anywhere close to obtaining a majority and nothing was willing to work with any of the others in order to form some kind of coalition. and so what they found themselves in was the situation of,

of deadlock and style made. and so rather than forming a government, some agent the which is what normally happens after election mccall instead have to ask the existing government to stay on. and it could take a capacity, it was they got through the name tags, and he tried to find some kind of solution to this impulse which has taken 2 months, hence, the frustration and impatience, the french vices. because the chuck is wes, reminding people about the french system. it is the president who appoints the prime minister in other european countries. it's more organic. um, you know, a, a, whoever gets the most votes tries to form a coalition and then it goes to another policy until someone manages it. but that's not how it works and fronts. you know, i saw though it was the president of a point, the prime minister the is generally is we've never been institution after that. before we've seen the president of pointing of was it uh,

a position put additions as primary. so is because this was a pretty decent, i have the majority in government, you know, it could be that shouldn't be full between a, a. she hard and did all, what was your spine? and she thought it was clear, there was the choice, the grew associates. i do my jewelry, gee, what should i come punch in short spots, but you start with a situation which was going to be different. no thought the other 3 up majority this way, everyone out there. so the, the basic uh, my goal is to book does the previous problem and before the late, just to make sure, you know, that was sort of measuring tape of the work study close to a to there were about 1550 votes, charles of it. and they were able to function this, why nobody understands why not cool and decided to distill all of these chemba ads to advertise what the national funds was riding high. the big surprise will be

selection as being actually the book, the arrival of the republicans thought it looked as if the national fault west going to be a dispute. should we do a visit action that may be comfortable, but we so are we extra stronger? defensive no, no, we come to stop the from just before the only be to go to point a government which is sort of both to traditional ripper become fun use. so that's why you up last week, the board with a so finished and event in the middle should build up voting for the rights we can do that if it was opposing additional or ready advice of us. so okay, but we'd like to be bringing this down and with some historical perspective because your journalist and historian, um, is this how the system is supposed to work because the 5th republics being in place since 1958. that's when the constitution came up. my, i thought the idea of the constitution was to deliberate stable, parliamentary majority is that was the idea. it wasn't it to. so a powerful president too, at the time was the goal, right. it was,

that's how the public was found. this sort of on the goals, the image of the strong presidents supported by a strong majority. and ever since the sixty's, there's always been a key, and majority of the french or 702-5022 was the very 1st time there wasn't appear already and it became even worse last dry. so this is very much unprecedented. so that's why it is because of the year 2 countries already know what to do. because usually, even though it's not in the constitution, the president must cohabitate or whoever has the majority, it's sort of how it's done. there's no really rule or habit for when you have no right majority to. so why do you think rainbow was off? so lots of names being floated addiction to the merry go round of senior political figures for a very long time. why was bonnie

a settled on by macro and the how much is the, is the national riley policy important in this the fact that they perhaps didn't veto hidden behind the scenes. a maximum. how decisive criteria that he wanted to fulfill. he needed someone who could reach out and achieve some kind of consensus or the very least, some kind of compromise between different policies. so someone who was in to pauses on too entrenched in a single view points. you also need someone who wasn't trying to get or the friend immediately. there was no point a pointing a new prime minister who would immediately face a no confidence fires and send every body back to square one and come back from his cane to protect his own legacy. and in particular, the pension or form that was possibly great control to see it earlier this year and on which my phone lost most of his political capital. so he rejected candidates whose goal was to of the turn, not policy. and fulfilling those criteria proved to be almost impossible. every

time a new name was mentioned, they would pull down on at least one of the 3 criteria and vanya, it was the 1st name that came up, who didn't fail on the 3 criteria. he's reading this. if you can possibly, with smartphones views on pension reform, and he has a track record of reaching out to across different policies who caught work together and especially in his, his role in your opinion. and he was not immediately rejected by a majority of people in parliament. and that's why the far right come in. because most of the less we candidates were rejected by the center and the rights and motive candidates from the center and the right were rejected by too many on the left. but this is one where the fall, right? so winning for now to give him a try and that for now, question is an important one that i think we need to return see later in the discussion. but for now he is not being rejected by majority of parliament. and so he has an opportunity to govern for at least some period of time. but jack not

crawl is always said his role in politics is to keep the fall right out of any control. and now it seems he's ended up with a situation where they potentially have a retail when the government going forward. yes indeed. yeah. does the arrow me off of my call it just without to be just talking about this situation. imagine the situation a live a 1000000 people voted for the initial prompt in the 1st round of the thought, a bunch of addition to some person of the jury. so it's a, it's a patio, a response at the same time defense as a said rejected edition on. they don't want to see different, but that the statement that we infuse did you beat the ideas of the national truck running around the 5 sure fences i t actually that'd be strong. and we see that the polity about me comes from is very close to now some problems, some views about the migration and the lloyd, or the uh that's uh,

that's quite clear that was what, but these, that's why the short from a fact or accepted the v comes to the rest of the gun directly cuz we bought 2 bedroom government, provided that stick to the edge and off the off the edge and the on the she'll give me a question and we saw that we know that about yet either previous campaign, when he was to meet the presidential candidate for the river because they really just a defense you should towards, you mean ration. so yes it's, i wrote that in the section it, the french rejected. so there's a sort of fraud was the hotel just got out of the door and is coming back to the window is and his ideas with different energy in fields. the policies that somebody shoes, a body shop that's probably even do about the essays,

the that the e we and try to i peter. so yeah, i lot of just the other issue of made the boat forward, but you know, sharp on was issue purchasing by add the sure pensions referral and, you know, one of the things that my co wanted, whether you have point you to primary step was something we would preserve is it could, it makes it a guess he wanted to go against the reforms this bridge interventions reform does cause let me just bring in the now let me bring in the on, um, so we will have a new parliament assembly next, you know, a meeting, it seems that the left his policies are still going to push a vote of no confidence. does that have no chance at this stage? all things, still a little bit unclear is looking unlikely, but you know, there's been a lot of surprises in what past few months. but yes, i think were left and having

a hard time accepting this term good at. and not only because they got the most, you know, states and member ending up with a candidates problems. i'm public inquiry 139. but also because they're very, quite critical of them use past as opposed to shouldn't be on the 5 thought the man voted against. didn't get penalizing homosexuality in the eighty's voted against gay civil unions. but he voted against a fund that abortions, all of these, you know, past most of his are, you know, very against what a lot of people, but as far as july, they're very that the opposite of the image trust funds. very recent, the project said to the world of the olympics, of a very, you know, progressive, clear opening ceremony. this is, comes a bit of a, a surprise. so i think there's definitely going to be a lot of the protested right. probably a, i mentioned a notion of no confidence of the a something. well talk about of

a motion of no confidence drawing, but also some suggestions that may be of the problem might try to impeach my crawl, even if that doesn't succeed. what is the damage to my crawl from all of this, unmet crumbs legged sleep, because he looks very weak, doesn't t? i mean, you know, one hand, he was very impulsive cooling a snap of election on the other hand, terribly and decisive did the ring of the leg over prime minister and who to a point as a prime minister this comp be good for the background. can it obviously he's been weak for the entire see if the 2nd time at the moment he lost the parliamentary election and immediately following his re election. he's been in a week position and even his re election was secured largely on the basis that he was running against the far right candidates. so people were rejecting the alternative rather than giving a positive endorsement to maxwell. so his popularity has been low for some time,

his status has been diminished. you could argue that he's been differing. you could also argue that he has been faced with a very difficult decision alone, that he has taken his time to implement. well, if he had chosen someone in haste and that person had been immediately rejected by parliament, that would have created a different kind of crisis. so his go now is to try and get a government that will achieve at least some degree of stability. the key question is, how much ground does he have to concede to the far right in order to retain the sort of a passive toner. and so if you will of this government, that willingness not to support the motion of such as that which i have through the government and let, let's do it so. but let's talk about that volume closing calls because all right, tasking. chuck. now let's talk about bonnie is 1st tasks he's got to a point the ministers he works with with micro map if the president to technically

appoints them. but then the budget. now this is a real problem, isn't it by the 1st of october because problems has a massive desk deficit with some say, well the, the, the outgoing finance minister says could reach 5.6 percent of g d p this year. and there's an e, you limit of 3 percent of the use already taking disciplinary proceedings against problems. it's a headache on day one. yes, and that's why you have pointed us as a body add not a someone from the left. if you do a, someone, we're going to want you to raise taxes and the increased but be spending would that be that same up to euro and to the market. so as these values appointment would come down to about this and we'd call, i'm doing it will be in style, but that we've got to make a purchase. so which is outside of besides, a budget is effect. the arrow need is the i, the president of falls well as inability. every action is v

d to the reading of the constitution, which makes it won't bother mentor when you started because you felt really proud. your question of this is a 5th republic, a presidential regime. oh, the parliamentary regime and the situation where joe, i've told the folks, the principal that knows me, that the boss is environment. and my quote know is not on good. that i, the president would see all these sort ation shift, the edge of government and fox is the prime minister is 50 stages in the constitution. and the president is meant to be both the apologies at preserving the stability of these situations. ok, maybe the taking care of exactly. i mean that's basically bringing beyond all not pointing, but at the end of our discussion. do you then for cdn tensions between bonnie, a, a mac chrome going forward, even though vanya has been chosen by macro. when bonnie i was running to these policies candidate and the last presidential election,

he said macro had read from send an arrow good man a that needs to be changed. is it going to be a cross between these 2 in the coming and coming months? and he was very much critical of my call when he was running for the product itself that he has to be. um, i think that it's hard to say now people have to wait and see who he nominates in these cabinets because my cost a lot of things in the past few weeks, he said that he wanted to apply and you know, the army and the interior ministers themselves, the question is living down the road to long with then the question is whether you will find him on that. my quote also said that he wants us to be a collaboration more than a cohabitation, which seems to indicate that he wants them to work. you know, intended. so i've been trying to hold on my cool side, but it'll be about 2 tenths. think it sort of depends on how much time he wants to weigh in with his own choices. because, i mean, it seems from what we might today. but some ministers want to stay like domino

who's the interior minister fan. she wants to say actually that she had the culture wants to stay. and so it depends on whether or not you had other ideas or not. and that will be in the coming days. and weeks. well, thank you very much. all 3 of you for joining us on today's inside story. all guess what? you got rental brain by maria and beyond the bmo. if you'd like to watch this or any of our other programs, you can always find them on dom all now to 0 adult calm your contributions, comments. i mean, even criticism a welcome to on our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. or you can use x for many. twitter or a handle is at a inside story. i'll be back here very soon. but until then for me, james base and all the team, his stay safe and well, bye bye. for now the, the september announces 0
