The spotlight has fallen on François Bairoux, the centre-right politician appointed as France’s new prime minister by Emmanuel Macron. The French media “explore” every corner of his life.
Politically everything is more or less known, he has been an MP (1986-2012) and MEP (1999-2002), minister of three right-wing governments and president of various centrist parties, the last of which was the Democratic Movement (Mouvement démocrate) from 2007 to the present.

Apart from the politics there is also the character, which was also marked by a video in which he slapped a child.
This unacceptable incident happened in 2002 when Bayrou was running as a candidate with the Union for the French Republic (UDF) party and visited a poor neighborhood in Strasbourg.
In the video, he is seen having a heated conversation with young people. A 10-year-old boy is next to him. Can’t see what he’s doing. Bairou slaps the kid in the face saying, “Don’t touch my pockets.”
After the reactions that broke out he defended his act saying that “I just gave him a lesson, like any father or traditional teacher would do. I was just doing my job as an adult.”
