If you’re out of the loop with French politics, the wiki entry for Bayrou is worth a glance:
73 years young…
On 21 June 2017, he resigned from the government amid an investigation into the MoDem’s allegedly fraudulent employment of parliamentary assistants, initiated earlier that month.
Bayrou resigned [as Minister of Justice] several days before the 2017 legislative election, only 35 days after he had taken the post.
Since September 2020, Bayrou has been the haut-commissaire au plan (a high commissioner of planning). In 2024 he has published a single note. It was in January. Nothing since. Nada. Since taking the position, the high commissioner has published a total of 17 notes.
I live in France and thought this guy was retired for some reason.
