Talk:Prime Minister of France

The date for appointment of the current president Sarkozy is given here as 17th May, while on the home page of [France]], it is given as 16th May. This needs to be checked and updated.- drtaher bla bla bla —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.90.209.14 (talk) 17:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

This article and that for July 9 differ as to was the first prime minister: in the July 9-article, the first Prime minister is said to have been Talleyrand in 1815. 101090ABC (talk) 00:05, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Confusion
How can this be true?

"On the other hand, because the National Assembly does have the power to overthrow the government, the choice of prime minister must reflect the majority in the Assembly."

The right currently holds a strong majority in the assembly, so how could the current Socialist president get a Socialist PM through? Is it kind of a gentlemen's agreement with the opposition that a president gets to choose his prime minister? --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:17, 17 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Currently with the legislative elections happening just after the presidential one, the assembly is suspended throughout the process, in fact the last works are in early March, so there isn't any way for it to censure or approve the government. For a month or so between the presidential investiture and the second round of the legislative elections, the government and its prime minister have no legislative backing, but can't have laws passed either, it can only publish decrees and things like that.

Bernard Cazeneuve
Has Prime Minister Cazeneuve resigned? Because people keep changing this page to imply he has. Editorguy123098 (talk) 18:08, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, he has. Mélencron (talk) 18:10, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Role of the Prime Minister of France
In the first paragraph of this article, it is said that the Prime Minister of France is the head of the Council of Ministers.

There are two problems with this: first the Prime Minister or France is NOT the head of the Council of Ministers (it has been during the IVth Republic), in fact he is the head of the Government of France. The head of the Council of Ministers actually is the President of France (the Prime Minister rarely heads it, only if the President is not in Paris). Then the link to 'Council of Ministers in France' leads to the page of the French Government - they are two different bodies! The Government is the set of all State Ministers/Ministers/State Secretaries, and the Council of Minister is the meeting of the Government, every Wednesday at the Elysée Palace (where the President of France works and lives).

This is very ambiguous and has to be modified. I'll modify it soon, this message was made to clarify!
