France: Bayrou, we need a technical government like Monti

17:14 19 APR 2012 

(AGI) Rome - Francois Bayrou said the road to a new government in France is the one drawn out by Mario Monti in Italy. The centrist presidential candidate explained to MoDem: "In France we could have a selected government like yours and for me it is a very interesting experience because it is a technical government of national unity."

 "In Italy," he added, "the three big forces have said 'we must work together to get out of this situation' and have put their trust in Monti who must take the necessary decisions. But it is a government that has political support. There is political agreement, even if implicitly. In France, we might decide something similar during the elections.

  There is a dangerous bipolarisation that reinforces the weight of the extremists. The right is put under pressure by the extreme right and the left by the far left. The only political force that resists the extremists is the one that I represent before the French people. Neither the left nor the right can get us out of this by themselves." .
