The Minister of Agriculture Didier Guillaume and the Secretary of State for Tourism and External Trade Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, have both decided to withdraw their candidacy for the municipal elections in Biarritz, at the request of Emmanuel Macron, announced on Wednesday the Elysee.
For the sake of "clarity and unity", the Head of State received Didier Guillaume on Tuesday to ask him to "end his engagement" in Biarritz, where he presented a list competing with that of the outgoing mayor Michel Veunac , on which Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne appeared, said the Elysee.
"Baroque situation"
Edouard Philippe had declared in mid-January that it was "not conceivable that two members of the government could be candidates against each other in the long term". “I told them what the rule was. And so we have given ourselves a few days so that they can hear it and they can draw the consequences and so that we can draw the consequences ourselves, "said Edouard Philippe after a government seminar, evoking a "baroque situation".
