François Bayrou Prime Minister

The Notre-Dame-de-Bétharram middle school and high school in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques is the target of accusations of physical and sexual violence that occurred between the 1970s and 1990s. Prime Minister François Bayrou met with a group of victims on Saturday, February 15.

The First Secretary of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure, considered this Sunday, February 16, that the Prime Minister "participated in one way or another in the law of silence to protect the institution" Notre-Dame de Bétharram.

According to a study by Ipsos, the Prime Minister is more popular with LR supporters (+24 points), the RN (+8 points) and also the PS (+4 points) which did not vote to censure the government.

Following a meeting with the Prime Minister, the spokesperson for the association of victims of the Notre-Dame-de-Bétharram school in Béarn paid tribute to all the children who were victims of violence and called on François Bayrou to take charge of the case in order to "take action".

Prime Minister François Bayrou spoke from Pau this Saturday, February 15, following a meeting with the association of victims of this case of violence, particularly sexual violence, within the Béarn Catholic establishment.

On a trip to Bouches-du-Rhône, the Minister of Justice responded this Saturday, February 15, to the controversy targeting the Prime Minister. The latter is accused of not having acted regarding accusations of violence and sexual assault at the Bétharram middle school, while he was Minister of National Education.

In his stronghold of Pau, Prime Minister François Bayrou is due to meet this Saturday, February 15, with the association of victims of the sexual violence case in this Béarn Catholic establishment.

The La France Insoumise group in the National Assembly referred the Bétharram affair to the Attorney General at the Court of Cassation on Friday, ruling that there are "facts likely to constitute a criminal offence".

Prime Minister François Bayrou will travel to Bétharram this Saturday, February 15, to meet with the association of victims of the sexual assault case in the Béarn Catholic institution.

Prime Minister François Bayrou is at the heart of a growing controversy over the case of accusations of sexual assault at Bétharram, a Catholic school in Béarn.

A third motion of censure targeting François Bayrou's government was rejected on Wednesday, February 12. The appeal against the government's forced passage of the Social Security budget via Article 49.3 having been dismissed, the text is thus adopted.

The Pau public prosecutor's office has been investigating for a year around a hundred complaints concerning alleged acts of violence, sexual assault and rape committed at the Notre-Dame-de-Bétharram middle school in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques between the 1950s and 1990s.

In an interview with 20 Minutes, the leader of the rebels reacted to the debate on French identity, launched by François Bayrou's government. He notably returned to his desire to facilitate access to French nationality.

The Pau public prosecutor's office has been investigating for a year around a hundred complaints concerning alleged acts of violence, sexual assault and rape committed in this establishment in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

The Prime Minister is facing a new motion of censure filed by the rebels this Wednesday, after having triggered article 49.3 on Monday on the "expenditure" part of the Social Security budget. Neither the PS nor the RN are expected to vote for it, as both parties want the budgetary procedure to go to its conclusion.

The Prime Minister denied having any knowledge of accusations of sexual assault in a Catholic establishment in Béarn attended by his children.

The third motion of censure tabled by France Insoumise against the government on the budget texts was also not adopted by the National Assembly.

Examined by the deputies this Monday, February 10, the text submitted by the rebels had almost no chance of bringing down the government of François Bayrou. The Prime Minister activated a new 49.3 in the process on the expenditure part of the second part of the Social Security budget.

The rebels' initiative has no chance of succeeding without the votes of the PS and the RN, who do not wish to censure the government on the budget.

The Prime Minister has chosen not to move to Matignon, as is usually the case. He assures that he still resides in his village in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

The Prime Minister had called for an "in-depth debate" on migration issues in France to find out "what it means to be French".

The First Secretary of the Socialist Party, who responded to François Bayrou's statements on a "debate on national identity", has drawn the wrath of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Manuel Bompard.

The Prime Minister calls for an "in-depth debate" on migration issues in France to find out "what it means to be French". In 2009, in the midst of a major debate on national identity, François Bayrou nevertheless regretted "a subject of political confrontation" and "a partisan use" of immigration.

The Prime Minister called his government together this Thursday morning, urging it to reach out to the French people. We must be very "attentive to their feelings," insisted François Bayrou. After several hiccups, the centrist also demands "complicity" within the government team.

The deputies considered the motions of censure filed by La France Insoumise to bring down François Bayrou. After the rejection of the first motion of censure on the state budget, the National Assembly also rejected the one on the expenditure of the social security budget.

Sophie Primas, government spokesperson, thanked the opposition parliamentary groups that did not vote for the motions of censure tabled by La France Insoumise.

The Prime Minister will have to face two new motions of censure in the coming days that have little chance of passing. But François Bayrou should be in the hot seat again in the spring with the conclave on pensions or the possibility of a new dissolution.

Parisian elected officials from the right-wing party are warning of the "risk of hasty decisions" on the municipal electoral voting method and are instead recommending "an in-depth debate involving all stakeholders".

La France Insoumise failed to bring down the Prime Minister on the first part of the social security budget. François Bayrou is expected to face two more motions of censure on this text in the coming days.

François Bayrou escaped the motion of censure filed by La France Insoumise on the afternoon of February 5. Without the votes of the socialists or the National Rally, it was doomed to failure.

While the Assembly must examine the two motions of censure of La France Insoumise on the budget on Wednesday, it is another that worries Matignon more. The Socialist Party has indeed announced that it will file, after the vote on the budget, a motion of censure against the government following François Bayrou's comments on the "migratory submersion".

The socialists will not support the motions of censure to bring down François Bayrou this Wednesday. Enough to accuse them of being "supporters" of Macronie for LFI. If the maneuver causes strong tensions between the two camps, it could ultimately serve each of them.

The Prime Minister should override the motions of censure that seek to bring him down on the State budget and social security. Enough to allow him to stay in office until the summer, or even longer if the tenant of Matignon decides to concentrate on current affairs, unless the RN decides otherwise.

Start of a dangerous week for François Bayrou. The Prime Minister has just used article 49.3 this Monday, February 3 for the first time since his appointment to Matignon. It allows him to have the State and social security budget adopted without a vote in the Assembly. As a result, he will have to face a motion of censure on Wednesday.

The Prime Minister has just had the finance bill adopted in the National Assembly without a vote by the deputies on February 3. François Bayrou will face a motion of censure on Wednesday that has little chance of being adopted. If it is rejected, the State budget will then be adopted.

The party's National Bureau has decided to abstain from voting to censure François Bayrou's government, which is going to resort to its first 49.3 on the State and Social Security budgets.

The Prime Minister will use Article 49.3 for the first time since his appointment to Matignon on Monday, February 3, in order to pass the State budget without a vote by the deputies in the Assembly, due to the lack of a majority. In return, he exposes himself to a motion of censure with an uncertain outcome.

When François Bayrou's government was formed, Xavier Bertrand was tipped to become Minister of Justice, before a turnaround.

Manuel Bompard, coordinator of France Insoumise and MP for Bouches-du-Rhône, denounced on BFMTV "the worst budget the country has ever seen in 25 years".
