"Bernard Kouchner, en entrant dans le gouvernement, n'est plus membre du parti socialiste". La procédure d'exclusion du nouveau ministre des Affaires étrangères devrait être enclenchée rapidement, même si aucune échéance n’a été précisée.
from Boz at French Election 1007:
Francois Fillon has only been Prime Minister for two days, but that has not stopped him from lashing back at the Socialists for criticizing his new government, especially with regards to the appointment of (former) Socialist Bernard Kouchner as Foreign Minister.
"Above all what I find lamentable this moment is the commentary of the Socialist Party. Mme Royal said she wanted to open, Mr. Bayrou said he wanted to open. When they wanted to open, it was fine, when it is we who do so, it is no longer all right. The truth is that the Socialists like opening only when it is around them. One sometimes has the impression that they don't like the people except when the people vote for them."
Reminds me of an old Groucho Marx line: I love Humanity, but I hate people.
