Key Points from Bérenger's Press Conference

If you're just joining us, here are the key points from Paul Bérenger's press conference, which took place after the MMM's political bureau meeting this afternoon, amidst speculation regarding his resignation as Deputy Prime Minister.

Key Statement: “I will see tomorrow whether I will resign from my position as Deputy Prime Minister” – Paul Bérenger indicates that he will decide tomorrow if he will step down from his role.

Implementation: The decision has been made, but he will clarify later when it will be enacted, if it happens at all.

Parliament Absence: He will not be present at the National Assembly this Tuesday, when parliamentary work resumes. MMM deputies wishing to participate may do so, each being responsible for their own actions.

Reasons Mentioned:

• Disagreement with the management of certain issues within the government since November.
• Economic situation “getting worse.”
• Tense international context, particularly the war in the Middle East.
• Importance of having a full-time Minister of Finance.
• Country's priority: “If I have to choose between my position as Deputy Prime Minister and the country, I will choose the country. If I have to choose between my country and my party, I will choose my country.”

Upcoming MMM Meetings:

Central Committee: Wednesday at 3:30 PM, Hennessy Park, Ébène.

If necessary, a call for a Delegate Assembly may follow.
