The mayor of Troyes François Baroin breaks the silence this week, after a long period away from the media, by giving an interview to Le Figaro. The President of the mayors of France reveals his vision of the way out of the crisis there, but also tackles the government. One way to place his pawns for the 2022 presidential election.
The deconfinement rests largely on the mayors. This is the reason why François Baroin came out of his silence in an interview given to Le Figaro . "We have no right to go wrong," said the president of the mayors of France. But doesn't he also have another route in mind?
We will be clear, the one who spoke yesterday is the president of the Association of Mayors of France. But it is also the likely candidate of the Republicans for the presidential election of 2022. We must be careful. He has not declared himself, he is not designated, but he is preparing for it. You know that for some time, his interlocutors have noticed that each time he talks about his ideas he ends with the expression: "if I decide to go for the presidential election".
But above all, in the columns of Figaro , François Baroin criticizes the power in its management of the crisis and gives its solutions for the post confinement, in particular on the economic questions. It will be necessary, he says, a social conference, on the mode of the Grenelle agreements signed after 1968 between the government and the unions. A way of saying that we will have to revive the tradition of social Gaullism.
François Baroin, in fact, is convinced that a solitary adventure like the success in 2017 Emmanuel Macron will remain as a parenthesis of history. From his town hall in Troyes, François Baroin sends a message, in particular to voters on the right, to correct his image: I am not the dilettante that you believe but I continue to think. Its teams are meeting now at the start of the new school year. As we can see, the year 2020 will be the year of the launch of the presidential campaign of 2022.
