The Prime Minister, François Bayrou, during the presentation of the orientations chosen for the 2026 budget, in Paris, on July 15, 2025.

François Bayrou wishes to make it known. “All those responsible [politiques] Go on vacation, well deserved, which I will not do ”, he clarified, in a video called FB Direct – Episode 1 And published on YouTube, Tuesday August 5. At the heart of the summer break, the head of government has assigned a new role, rue de Varenne: that of chief communicator, responsible for defending the solely decree of the 2026 budget presented on July 15, and its 44 billion euros in savings.

This “direct communication” operation carried out by Matignon was ratified three weeks ago, as an extension of the press conference organized in mid-July revealing the budgetary guidelines. François Bayrou continues to dramatize the issue of “Over -indebtedness”ce “Mal who threatens [notre] survival ” and which will eventually cause important « sacrifices » If nothing is done to stem him, he reiterated on Tuesday in his address.
