Xavier Bertrand Rejects Justice Ministry Role in Bayrou's Government Amid RN and Marine Le Pen's Opposition
Dec 23, 2024, 04:57 PM
Xavier Bertrand, the president of the Hauts-de-France region, has announced that he will not be part of the new government led by Prime Minister François Bayrou. Bertrand stated that he was informed by the Prime Minister that he could no longer be appointed as the Minister of Justice due to opposition from the Rassemblement National (RN). Despite other offers from Bayrou, Bertrand has refused to join the government, citing his unwillingness to participate in an administration formed with the approval of Marine Le Pen, leader of the RN. Bertrand emphasized that accepting such a position would betray his values, commitment, and past efforts.
