The flagship political show of France Television, "You have the floor", returns this Thursday evening on France 2, with the Prime Minister as the main guest.
The co-presenter of the program Léa Salamé explains to the microphone of Europe 1 the program of this evening of debate between Jean Castex and the French.
Léa Salamé and Thomas Sotto make this Thursday at 9 p.m. on France 2 the start of the political program
You have the floor
, with a guest of choice: Prime Minister Jean Castex.
An important moment for the successor of Edouard Philippe, appointed for a little less than three months.
An important moment also for the political magazine which had gathered between 1.2 and 2.2 million viewers on its first seven issues and aims this season to give more space to the questions of the French.
Two issues that Léa Salamé developed at the microphone of Louise Bernard, for

The authority of the new prime minister hangs in the balance
This return of
You have the floor
is, according to Léa Salamé, the first "real speech" and therefore the first "real risk-taking" of Prime Minister Jean Castex, whom she describes as "still unknown to many French people" .
"It was greeted in a rather benevolent context three months ago but now the problems are starting, if I may say so," points out the co-interviewer of the show.
Léa Salamé then lists at Louise Bernard's microphone the points on which Jean Castex will have, according to her, to prove himself during the show.
"First, there is the tutelary shadow of the very popular Edouard Phillipe that he will have to erase", she recalls.
"There are also the egos and loudmouths of his government: Gérald Darmanin against Eric Dupont-Moretti. The two ministers will be in the public, it's rare enough to underline it. This Prime Minister will therefore have to show who he is , what he has in his stomach, and if he has enough authority to hold his government. "

Bring the program closer to the French ... even the most "geeks"
But this re-entry is also crucial for
You have the floor
.
To compensate for the very uneven and fairly modest audiences of last year.
The political show will try to involve its viewers more.
"This is not the Prime Minister's program, it is really the confrontation and face-to-face with the French," warns Léa Salamé.
The journalist thus reveals some information on the identity of the French present in this back-to-school issue.
"On the set, for example, there will be a grandmother who could not stand the sentence 'Grandfathers and grandmothers, you will be very nice not to go and pick up your grandchildren from school'. French people will also be live from Grenoble on the subject of insecurity, ”reveals Léa Salamé.
"We will also give the floor to the workers at Bridgestone, who have things to say to the Prime Minister."
A list to which is added four city councilors: Pierre Hurmicle (mayor of Bordeaux), Robert Ménard (mayor of Béziers), Johanna Rolland (mayor of Nantes) and David Lisnard (mayor of Cannes).
Finally,
you have the floor
on interactivity with the French.
The show will use the hashtag launched by France Télévisions #onvousrepond, to address directly to the Prime Minister the questions asked by viewers on social networks.
Great novelty, this time for the attention of the most "geeks": the show will be broadcast live on the Twitch platform, where it will be commented on by the political streamer Jean Massiet.
