The former Prime Minister of France, Gabriel Ettel, criticizing Michel Barnier

During the meeting of the “Ensemble” party, headed by the former Prime Minister of France, Gabriel Atal spoke about the new government of Michel Bernard Barnier, the current prime minister on behalf of the “Republicans” party.

“Given the political situation, and out of a sense of responsibility, we could not refuse to participate in this government,” sources familiar with the details of the meeting told the French channel BFMTV. “We are the largest party in the National Assembly. If we were not part of the coalition, the government would not last. We do it Therefore, out of responsibility, but without denying ourselves,” they added.

However, Atal expressed regret over “the absence of figures from the Republican left in this government,” and added: “The failure is not ours – in the last two weeks we have called for the establishment of a Republican unity government.”
