Can't say I am pleased to have a Spanish "Tory" as the new PM here in France. He was ok in his former office as that needs a Rightish type but not in this role. Hands off the 35 hour week mon ami. I can see this being a spectacular failure, a political Dien Bien Phu for Philippe Hollande.

I won't be changing my sedentary life style and I don't see the French doing so either!
The most I may do is to buy a "velo" here in France, I used to have one in the UK as there are good cycle lanes here, better than in the UK, BUT I have seen some of the French traffic and it scares me quite a bit. I am not a car driver.

To misquote Iago, Valls will follow Hollande to serve his turn upon him.

I would support Valls on banning the Bigot Dieudonné M’Bala, BUT I am very very suspicious indeed of him and despite the media heralding him as the most popular of Ministers in the Hollande Government he is to me "Le Tony Blair Français", or "Le Miliband de France" and I do NOT want to see France suffer from the same slushy wet Centralism that has infected UK Politics and from which I had hope I had escaped.
A reshuffle was required but I fear that Philippe Hollande has been guilty of a panic reaction and will come to regret this hasty choice of a replacement PM and could even split his party. Already the Greens have said they will not work with Valls and frankly I do not blame them for that!

He'll be able to do some deals in the Senate, he doesn't need them in the National Assembly.

We on the right are awful at judging how left wing lefties are - but I would have said the Miliband is left of the labour centre. (At least if you are referring to Ed) |

Yes Ed, as the other brother fell on his sword and joined the puppets in International Rescue. "Gee Mr Tracy"
I know it's all relative but if Ed Miliband is to the LEFT of Labour, given his recent actions and pronouncements, then I am Friedrich Engels!

Well your avatar looks pretty similar to Engels and you are about the right age  |

The crushing irony of that is that France has, for generations, obsessed over slushy wet centrist messiahs to fight the socialist and Gaullist "establishment". |

The candidate of Macron in Paris, former "porte-parole" of the government Benjamin Griveaux announced he dropped his candidacy for the mayorship.
Yesterday was leaked a video of (allegedly) him masturbating. A russian artist-dissident living in Paris (according to Libération) said he leaked it after getting it from someone who had a consensual relationship with Griveaux. He wanted to show the hypocrisy of the candidate who labeled himself as the "families' mayor", who put his family center-stage of the campaign etc...
As a french, I must say I don't care one bit. I'm not sure parisians would care as well, although his whole campaign is targeted at very conservative parisians that might want to come back to the right-wing candidate Rachida Dati. But Rachida Dati is the minister who was pregnant during her time in office and whose name of the father was news-material for a lot of gossip-papers in the last years. And, honestly, no one cares that it was some rich guy (and "out of wedlock").
But still, that will have quite an effect on the parisian election. Rachida Dati was accused in 2017 to have herself leaked the contracts of Pénélope Fillon, the spouse of the right wing candidate, which cost him the presidency (he didn't like Dati). And Paris has always been quite a battle !
