🇫🇷French President Emmanuel #Macron has appointed François #Bayrou as the new prime minister. Will he last longer than a lettuce?
The story comes from the Daily Star, which, in early October 2022, set up a webcam on a lettuce to see if it would have a longer shelf-life than British Prime Minister Liz Truss. The video, titled “Will Liz Truss outlast this lettuce?” by the British newsroom, garnered more than 20,000 views.
It turns out that when the prime minister confirmed her resignation on Thursday, October 20th, 2022, the lettuce was still in good shape. The caption of the video was later changed to “The lettuce outlasted Liz Truss,” accompanied by congratulatory messages in a chat box beside the video.
Now, after more than a week without a government, France has appointed a new prime minister, François Bayrou, who took office last Friday. Will he last longer than a lettuce?
Hear from a journalist based in France for the Portuguese press, sharing her opinion.
