Overview

• Marine Tondelier recounted on LCI’s En toute franchise on Sunday that meetings with François Bayrou at Matignon were "préoccupant" and "inquiétant," describing the experience as "malaise TV."
• She said Bayrou returned by private jet from Pau appearing "jet-lagged," was alone without aides at Matignon, and took a phone call during the meeting that she deemed inappropriate to hold in front of them.
• Tondelier reported that Bayrou pounded the table and touted local projects in Pau, saying he had built bike lanes and a heat network, which left her delegation shaken and laughing nervously afterward.
• Contrasting approaches, she described current prime minister Sébastien Lecornu as "pro" and attentive even though she considers his appointment politically illegitimate in her view.
• The remarks come as Lecornu leads fresh consultations to secure government accords, having received a Greens delegation that includes Tondelier.
