00:00
Sitting next to Emmanuel Macron at the Citizens' Convention on Assisted Dying, Thierry Baudet,
00:06
a man that could be a potential candidate for Prime Minister.
00:10
Trained as a teacher and president of the French Economic, Social and Environmental Council,
00:14
Baudet was relatively unknown to the public until Monday,
00:18
as Macron shows signs of appointing a government led by technocrats.
00:22
Ministers wouldn't be political figures, but civil servants without partisan affiliation.
00:27
A government that would therefore distance itself from France's divisive partisan politics.
00:32
But appointees from civil society like Thierry Baudet would also have their challenges.
00:37
He would be faced with a National Assembly that is very polarised and tumultuous.
00:42
To not have come from this background would mean that he would have to adapt very quickly.
00:48
He would also have to survive a motion of no confidence
00:51
and criticism for his lack of a clear electoral mandate.
00:55
As well as meeting with Baudet, this week the French President has also met with former presidents,
01:00
François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy,
01:02
as well as conservative Xavier Bertrand and former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
