François Bayrou said France must look global powers ‘face on’ in reference to Donald Trump’s return to office
The French prime minister, François Bayrou, has said France must stand firm in the face of figures such as the tech billionaire Elon Musk, who represents a “new world disorder”.
In his first policy speech to the French parliament on Tuesday, Bayrou, a veteran centrist, said there was “a new world order, or rather a new world disorder, that threatens all equilibrium and all rules of defence. There are a certain number of people who embody this without complex, such as Elon Musk.”
