put in difficulty the work of the Government

Pierre Moscovici, MP PS of the Doubs, France Info and Europe 1: the resignation of the two Secretaries of State stressed "how much the Government is now 'HS'", "gasping for air, spent, devalued." "We need a Government crisis and not a Government crisis."

Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, MP Paris, on Radio classic PS: these resignations "pose more problems than it solves". "These are two fuses to try at least to spend the summer", "protect a Government at end of breath and Eric Woerth course".

Benoît Hamon, the PS spokesman: "these resignations are a sign of a severe Government crisis." It is linked to the individual behaviour of some of its ministers, whose ethics has been implicated by information given by the media. It comes at the same time where the Government requires efforts on the French while several Ministers, they took their comfortable with publicly. This discrepancy was unbearable and could no longer durer.

Marc Fesneau, General Secretary of the MoDem: "these resignations are logical and were inevitable to relation that revealed the news on the unacceptable behaviour of these two Secretaries of State (...)" They should leave their Government to questions of ethics and consistency. These resignations were necessary, they are not sufficient to restore the confiance.

Xavier Bertrand, number one of the UMP, on Europe 1: "I have the feeling that today things are returned to the place, the President of the Republic had demonstrated (...)". "his disapproval of certain behaviours, the two Ministers have received the message, they fired the consequences," expressing "a thinking particular to Alain Joyandet, who is my friend" and excluding also a departure from the Government of Eric Woerth, on trial in the case of Bettencourt.

Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, Secretary of State to the Prospective and development of the digital economy: "there is nothing to see between the case of Alain Joyandet or Christian Blanc, who quit Sunday, and that of Eric Woerth.". "The two Secretaries of State have been implicated on misuse of funds of the State".

Dominique Paillé, spokesman for the UMP, on RTL: "Alain Joyandet, Christian White were the subject of the mob" for "blameworthiness". With their resignation "the most urgent cases have been treated" and here in the "great redesign in October", there was "no reason to continue to see leave or make starting the Ministers who are to work."

Roselyne Bachelot, Minister of health and Sports, at the start of the second stage of the Tower of France in Brussels: "I think they made a good decision which was in line with the aspirations of the French and the misunderstandings that were thrown to their attitude."

Nadine Morano, Secretary of State for the family, on RTL: "I believe that it is to their credit to the findings of these incidents, these deficiencies that ...". "put in difficulty the work of the Government." According to her, "need a little more calm, serenity to the major reforms that we are involved, including that of pensions". But "it is of clumsiness, not malfeasance", and "we are in the Republic beyond reproach that is building the President of the Republic", she added.

Marine Le Pen, Vice-President of the national Front (FN), found on France 2, with the resignation of Alain Joyandet and Christian Blanc, "it sacrifices two Deputy Ministers" to "save the soldier Woerth" implicated in the case of Bettencourt.
