Francois Bayrou addressing the press at the Elysée Palace

Francois Bayrou, President of the European Democratic Movement and Party, addressing the press at the Elysée Palace, at the end of the CNR, National Council of Refoundation, in Paris, 12 December 2022. SOT: The great challenge, the great conditions for the success of this reform consist in succeeding, together with the French, in making a reflection on the reasons for this reform; on the reasons that make it inevitable, and at the same time on the method that we must adopt for it to be a fair reform. As you well know, I have always believed that it takes time, and that is what the President of the Republic has decided, and that I think is right.
